Regular price $6.00

Marie Skłodowska Curie was born in Warsaw in 1867. She was a physicist and chemist who pioneered research on radioactivity. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice in two different scientific fields. Marie married French physicist Pierre Curie, and they shared a Nobel Prize. She founded the Curie Institute in Paris, and the Curie Institute in Warsaw. Both remain major medical international research centers. During World War I she developed mobile X-ray units for field hospitals. “Madame Curie” died in 1934 from exposure to radiation.
