Marie Curie’s quest for knowledge broke barriers and shaped the future of science. Born in Warsaw in 1867, she defied the odds as a woman in academia, studying in secret before earning degrees in Paris. Her discoveries in radioactivity earned her not one, but two Nobel Prizes—making her the first person to achieve this honor in two different sciences. Beyond her research, she worked tirelessly during WWI, developing mobile X-ray units to aid front-line soldiers. Her legacy shines as a beacon of perseverance and the transformative power of science. 🧪✨ #MarieCurie #WomenInSTEM #ScientificLegacy Alt Text: A black and white photo of Marie Curie holding tools for her experiment.
