Marie Curie

 Marie Sklodowska was a Polish chemist and physicist. She was born in November 7, 1867. She went to Paris in 1891, to further her studies at the Sorbonne.She graduated from that university in 1893, and received her doctorate ten years later. After her arrival in France, she met the French physicist Pierre Curie, whom he married in 1895. 

She was the first person and the first woman to receive two Nobel Prizes in Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1910). Also, she and her husband, Pierre Curie, discovered polonium and radium and investigated the use of radioactivity for medicinal purposes.

She died in July 4, 1934. 

She and Pierre, studied the radioactive materials, particularly the uranium in the form of pitchblende (or uraninite), which contained traces of some element much more radioactive than uranium. They also found two new chemical elements, polonium in reference to its native country, and radium because its intense radioactivity. It was their most famous discovery.

She defined radioactivity as the fundamental property of atoms.

I like Marie Curie because I think it was a very important achievement for science that she discovered a new element. Also, I like the idea of having a lab partner, like Pierre.
