Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today I am going to talk about a woman that I admire a lot. She is the reason why I am studying this career and is the best model: Marie Curie.
Maria Salomea Sklodowska-Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist. She was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes: Physicsand Chemistry and the first woman in made classes at the University of Paris.
In 1903 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactive elements and in 1911 she was awarded a second Nobel Prize, Chemistry, for her research on radium and their compounds.
Marie Curie was director of the Paris Radio Institute in 1914 and “The Curie Institute” was founded. She died in 1934 from aplastic anemia caused by her high radiation exposure.
I know people who consider her an example to follow and this includes me, because she was a very intelligent woman and never gave up to achieve her dreams, because being a woman and being recognized for her achievements was impossible.
It is a sad ending for this admirable woman, but at the same time it was very heroic, because thanks to her today many things are known about radioactive elements. She is a woman to be admired.
Goodbye, and thank you very much for reading. đ
