Curie's Biography

Marie Curie ( 1867-1934)

-Marie Skłodowska-Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.-She was born on November 7th, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4th, 1934 in France.-She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes in different fields.-She died from aplastic anemia, due to her contact with highly radioactive substances during her research.

Metal that has a high amount of radioactivity. It is distinguished by its white color that becomes black on contact with air.

Radium

Discoveries

Polonium

Polonium is highly unstable, radioactive and toxic element. This makes it difficult to handle. It can be dangerous, even in very small amounts.

-Marie Curie has set up a fleet of ambulances transformed into mobile X-ray centres to help surgeons better operate.-She also called for the army to set up radiology services near the war zone.-She requisitioned x-ray equipment in hospitals to diagnose war injuries and collected donations to equip cars with dynamos that power x-ray machines.

Part: 2 Curie's dedication

"Nous étions, à cette époque, entièrement absorbés par le nouveau domaine qui s’ouvrait devant nous[…]"

Marie Curie, Pierre Curie, 1996.

"Dans ce laboratoire de fortune, nous avons travaillé presque sans aide pendant deux ans […]"

"Il m'a fallu aussi m'occuper de la formation de personnel pour les besoins du service. […]"

"Ayant voulu, comme tant d'autres, me mettre au service de la Défense nationale […], je me suis presque aussitôt orientée du côté de la radiologie, m'efforçant de contribuer à l'organisation des services radiologiques notoirement insuffisants au début de la guerre."

Marie Curie, La Radiologie et la Guerre, 1921.
