Marie Curie
A friend from Poland whose glowing discoveries changed science forever.
The Story
Marie grew up in Poland and loved science more than anything.
She moved to Paris and studied so hard she sometimes forgot to eat.
With her husband Pierre, she discovered two brand-new glowing elements.
She won the Nobel Prize — TWO of them, in two different sciences!
Her work helps doctors see inside our bodies today.
