Marie Curie is famous for her pioneering research in radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win in two fields and the only person to win in multiple sciences. The first element she discovered she named polonium after her native Poland. She also discovered radium. Curium is named for her and her husband Pierre. She established the first military field radiological centers during World War I. Sixty years after her death she became the first – and so far the only – woman to be honored with interment in the Pantheon on her own merits. To this day, her research papers are too radioactive to handle safely without protective clothing.

Congrats to Razor's Wife and razor1965 on the FTF!
