Marie Curie: A Physicist Who Spent Her Life Studying Radioactive Materials
Marie's husband, Pierre Curie was killed in an accident in 1906, but Marie carried on with her work and in 1911 received a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry.

Marie Curie was a physicist who spent her life studying radioactive materials. She invented an instrument to measure radioactivity. With her husband Pierre, she discovered the element radium.
When she was a student in Paris, Marie Curie was so poor that she sometimes fainted with hunger during her classes. However, she still managed to come top of the class in the exams.

    I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post
