I chose to carry out my project on Marie Curie, the woman who discovered radium and polonium. She was born Mary Sklodowska on November 7, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland and died on July 4, 1934 in Passy, ​​France at the age of 67. In 1895, Marie married a professor named Pierre Curie at the age of 26. woman to complete a doctorate in France in MMMM at the age of xxx. And in MMMMM, Curie was also the first woman professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first person to use the term "radioactivity", which is still used today. Marie Curie was born the youngest child of five, to parents who were both teachers, Marie was driven to excel. An excellent student in her high school, she could not attend a university reserved for men. Because it was illegal at the time for girls to go to school, she attended an underground night school with her sisters. She continued her studies at the “Floating University”, these were the clandestine courses in Warsaw. As they were poor, neither Marie Curie nor her sister had the means to pay for their studies. They made an agreement that Marie would work first and her sister would go to school. Once her sister was finished and able, she would help Marie go to school. Marie Curie served as a tutor and governess for five years in order to earn money, support her sister and pay for her education. She finally went to Paris in 1891 and enrolled at the Sorbonne. She was so involved in her studies that it affected her health and she fell ill from devoting all her time to studies. She had very little money, just enough to pay for bread and butter and tea, and her health also suffered from her poor diet. Curie went on to earn his master's degree in physics in 1893, and another degree in mathematics midway through his studies......prolonged exposure to radiation. Through all of her work, Marie Curie made many groundbreaking discoveries during her life. She is the most famous female scientist to ever live and has received numerous posthumous honors. In 1995, she and her husband were buried at the Pantheon in Paris, which is the final resting place of Frances' great minds. She was the first and only woman to be buried in the Pantheon. Curie passed on the love of science to the next generation. Her daughter Irene followed in her mother's footsteps by winning the Nobel Prize in 1935. She shared her Nobel Prize with her husband for their work on the synthesis of new radioactive elements. Today, several educational, research and medical centers are honored with the Curie name. , including the Curie Institute and the Pierre and Marie Curie University, both located in Paris.
