Maria Curie
marie sklodowska curie was a physicist and chemist of polish upbringing and subsequent french citizenship. she was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity and the first person honored with two n-bel prizes (in physics and chemistry).she was also the first female professor at the university of paris.
her death was from aplastic anemia, almost certainly contracted from exposure to radiation. the damaging effects of ionizing radiation were not then known, and much of her work had been carried out in a shed, without taking any safety measures. she had carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket and stored them in her desk drawer, remarking on the pretty blue-green light that the substances gave off in the dark.
due to their levels of radioactivity, her papers from the 1890s are considered too dangerous to handle. even her cookbook is highly radioactive. they are kept in lead-lined boxes, and those who wish to consult them must wear protective clothing…
maria curie is the inventor of uranium.
