Marie Curie

Contributions, life, and interesting facts

Marie Curie was a scientist who studied physics, chemistry, and mathematics. She was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. Marie was the youngest of her family, and had 3 sisters and 1 brother. She had two children, and her husband was Pierre Curie. Her children are Irene Joliot-Curie, and Eve Curie. (Both dead now. Eve died in 2007.) Marie died on July 4, 1934, at the Sancellemoz Sanatorium in Passy, in Haute- Savoie.

Marie Sklodowska Curie was a chemist. Marie created a theory of radioactivity. She discovered the element polonium, which is number 84 in the Periodic Table of Elements. Mrs. Curie also founded radium, number 88 in the PTE (For PTE, see previous sentence.)Radium steadily emits rays. It was also under her personal direction that the world’s first studies were conducted into treatment on neoplasms (cancers).

Curie helped soldiers during World War I. Mrs. Curie used mobile radiography units for the treatment of wounded soldiers in World War I. She also used X-rays. A little later, Curie began to use a technique pioneered in Dublin to collect Radon--- a radioactive gas that radium steadily emits. Later on, during the spring of 1919, she offered radiology courses to a group of American soldiers who remained in France while awaiting passage home.

Marie helped raise funds for an institute.  Marie founded the Radium Institute in her hometown (Warsaw). At first it was called the Radium Institute, but now it is called the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology. She toured the US in 1921 to raise funds for radium research, and succeeded in equipping this institute. (Do you get it? The fund is the 3rd contribution.)

Some interesting facts about her is that she died from aplastic anemia due to exposure to radiation, won 2 Nobel Prizes, won a Davy Medal, won a Matteucci Medal, people made a statue in honor of her in Lublin, Poland, and she and her husband used some of her Nobel Prize money to install modern plumbing with a bathroom and replace the wallpaper in their Parisian home.
