Marie Curie was born in 1864 and died in 1934. She was an incredible scientist that studied radioactivity in the fields of Physics and Chemistry. She was born in Varsovia, Poland, in a family of educators but because of the restrictions for the woman in her country she went to Paris to continue her studies in the University of Sorbonne. There, she obtained different titles in Physics and Mathematics becoming one of the first women in having the greatest knowledge. With his husband, Pierre Curie, they discovered in 1898 two radioactive elements: Polonium and Radium. In 1903, both were congratulated with the Nobel prize of Physics, shared with Henri Becquerel, because of his inventions about radioactivity. After the sad death of Pierre in 1906, Marie continued her scientific work and was a teacher in Sobona. In 1911, she received a Nobel Prize of Physics because of her work on aislamiento of radium and her studies of its properties. After this, a lot happened for the amazing scientist and to this day we all are thankful for her amazing work. During the First World War, she developed mobile X-ray units, known as "Petites Curies", which allowed wounded soldiers to be treated on the battlefront. His work in medical radiology was fundamental to the development of new diagnostic and treatment techniques.
Despite his enormous legacy, prolonged exposure to radiation seriously affected his health, causing his death in 1934 due to aplastic anemia. However, his impact on science lives on, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists around the world.
