physicist, chemist, nobel prize-winner, Maria Skłodowska-Curie
Marie Curie (Polish: Maria Skłodowska-Curie, née Marya Skłodowska,
November 7, 1867 – July 4, 1934) was a Polish-French physicist and
chemist. She was a pioneer in the early field of radioactivity, later
becoming the first two-time Nobel laureate and the only person with
Nobel Prizes in two different fields of science (physics and chemistry
- due to the effects of sharing, she effectively obtained 1.25 Nobel
Prizes). She also became the first woman appointed to teach at the
Sorbonne. She was born a Pole in Warsaw, and spent her early years
there, but in 1891 at age 24, moved to France to study science in
Paris. She obtained all her higher degrees and conducted her scientific
career there, and became a naturalized French citizen. She founded the
Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw.
