    Marie Skłodowska Curie was a Polish-French scientist born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. She studied at the University of Paris where she met her husband Pierre Curie. Together they discovered the elements radium and polonium and developed the theory of radioactivity. Marie Curie is recognized as one of the most influential scientists in history for her scientific contributions and fight for gender equality in education and science. She died in 1934 from aplastic anemia contracted from exposure to radiation during her pioneering research.

    (1867-1934)

    MARIE SALOMEA
    SKŁODOWSKA CURIE.
    ¿WHO IS SHE?
    SHE WAS BORN IN WARSAW, POLAND, INTO A
    FAMILY OF ACADEMICS AND EDUCATORS. SHE
    WAS A POLISH-FRENCH SCIENTIST WHO LIVED
    FROM 1867 TO 1934. SHE STUDIED AT THE
    UNIVERSITY OF PARIS, WHERE SHE MET HER
    HUSBAND, PIERRE CURIE. TOGETHER, THEY
    RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THE CHEMICAL
    ELEMENTS RADIUM AND POLONIUM, AND ALSO
    DEVELOPED THE THEORY OF RADIOACTIVITY.

    ¿WHY IS SHE RECOGNIZED?


    MARIE CURIE IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST
    INFLUENTIAL AND IMPORTANT SCIENTISTS IN
    HISTORY, NOT ONLY FOR HER SCIENTIFIC
    CONTRIBUTIONS, BUT ALSO FOR HER FIGHT FOR
    GENDER EQUALITY IN EDUCATION AND SCIENCE. HER
    LEGACY HAS INSPIRED MANY WOMEN AND MEN TO
    PURSUE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL CAREERS.

    ACHIEVEMENTS
    DEVELOPMENT SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAD DEVELOPMENT
    OF THE THEORY DISCOVERED THAT RADIUM DESTROYED OF
    OF DISEASED CELLS FASTER THAN HEALTHY RADIOGRAPHY
    RADIOACTIVITY. CELLS, AND THUS THAT RADIATION TECHNIQUES
    COULD BE USED TO TREAT TUMORS.

    ¿HOW SHE DIED?


    MARIE CURIE DIED ON JULY 4TH, 1934 NEAR SALANCHES, FRANCE, FROM APLASTIC
    ANEMIA— A RARE DISORDER IN WHICH THE SPINAL CORD DOES NOT PRODUCE
    ENOUGH NEW CELLS— PROBABLY CONTRACTED AS A RESULT OF CONTINUED
    EXPOSURE TO RADIATION. MARIE'S RESEARCH WAS PIONEERING, SO MUCH SO THAT
    NEITHER SHE NOR HER HUSBAND WERE AWARE OF THE DANGERS THEY WERE EXPOSED
    TO WITH RADIATION.

    EXPERIMENT
    MARIE CURIE SUSPECTED THAT URANIUM ORES MUST CONTAIN A HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE
    ELEMENT THAT HAD NOT YET BEEN DISCOVERED. SINCE SHE HAD NOTICED THAT
    URANIUM ORES ARE MORE RADIOACTIVE THAN THE PURE METALLIC URANIUM THAT IS
    EXTRACTED FROM THEM. TOGETHER WITH HER HUSBAND AND HER ASSISTANT, THEY
    CHEMICALLY PROCESSED A TON OF URANIUM ORE AND MANAGED TO ISOLATE A FEW
    MILLIGRAMS OF RADIO CHLORIDE. THIS SALT, DESPITE BEING SCARCE, SERVED TO
    DEMONSTRATE THE EXISTENCE OF A NEW ELEMENT 900 TIMES MORE RADIOACTIVE
    THAN PURE URANIUM METAL. AFTER AN ANALYSIS REACTION SHE WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN
    A SAMPLE OF THE ELEMENT RADIUM IN ITS PURE STATE. THIS HAS A GRAYISH AND SOFT
    APPEARANCE, IT OXIDIZES IMMEDIATELY SO IT TURNS FROM GRAY TO BLACK, IT IS SO
    RADIOACTIVE THAT IT IONIZES THE OXYGEN AROUND IT PRODUCING A WEAK BLUE
    GLOW VISIBLE IN THE DARK, IT IS LUMINESCENT.
