	Science in Poland - Maria Sklodowska-Curie
		Maria Sklodowska-Curie with her husband in chemical laboratory in Paris.
		Her dissertation on radioactive substances - based on research she did with her husband, Pierre Curie, and her mentor, Henri Becquerel - was published as this 1903 article in a French scientific journal.
		Marie Curie's early research on radium led her to develop applications for radioactivity in medical therapy.

		It is a great honour for me to address this eminent forum gathered on the occasion of the centenary of polonium and radium discovery, by Pierre and Marie Curie, born as Maria Sklodowska, my distinguished compatriot, twice honoured with the highest and most prestigious scientific distinction.
		In 1913, the Radiological Laboratory of the Warsaxw Scientific Society started its activity and Maria Sklodowska-Curie was it honorary director.
		It was Maria Curie who organised during the First World War the ambulances equipped with X-ray equipment and in person with her daughter Irene, on the batterfields, they helped wounded soldiers and saved their life.

	Science in Poland - Maria Sklodowska-Curie
		Maria Curie, now at the highest point of her fame, and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, devoted her researches to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances and the medical applications of these substances.
		Maria Sklodowska was born as the fifth and youngest child of Bronsilawa Boguska, a pianist, singer, and teacher, and Wladyslaw Sklodowski, a professor of mathematics and physics.
		The sudden death of Pierre Curie (April 19, 1906) was a bitter blow to Maria Curie, but it was also a decisive turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken.

	100th Anniversary of the Discovery of Polonium and Radium
		Maria Sklodowska-Curie, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and the only woman of four individuals to receive the Nobel Prize two times, was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867, the youngest of five children.
		Sklodowska's family was very patriotic and had lost much of its land and wealth as punishment for participating in the great Polish uprisings of 1830 and 1863.
		Maria decided to follow her elder sister, who studied medicine in Paris, and went to France to pursue her main interest, science.

	Central Europe Review - Film: Discovering Radium
		Whilst the English-speaking world generally refers to her as Marie Curie, to Poles she is Maria Sklodowska-Curie, emphasising her Polish origins.
		By calling it Maria, rather than Curie, he emphasises that she was a woman as much as a scientist and by calling it Maria, rather than Marie, we are clear that he is interested in her Polish side as much as her connections with France.
		Nationalism can be such a xenophobic concept and feminism can be mindlessly right-on, but Marie Curie manages both to epitomise her nation without isolating it from the context of Europe and to be an iconic figure for female success without either sacrificing her femininity or degrading it.

	Maria Curie-Sklodowska
		Curie, quiet, dignified and unassuming, was held in high esteem and admiration by scientists throughout the world.
		Curie throughout her life actively promoted the use of radium to alleviate suffering and during World War I, assisted by her daughter, Iréne, she personally devoted herself to this remedial work.
		Curie developed methods for the separation of radium from radioactive residues in sufficient quantities to allow for its characterization and the careful study of its properties, therapeutic properties in particular.

	Madame Marie Sklodowska-
		Marie Curie is best known for her pioneering work in the study of Radioactivity, which led to the discovery in 1898 of the elements Radium and Polonium.
		The work of Marie and Pierre Curie, which by its nature dealt with changes in the atomic nucleus, led the way toward the modern understanding of the atom as an entity that can be split to release enormous energy.
		In 1903, Marie Curie obtained her doctorate for a thesis on radioactive substances, and with her husband and Henry Becquerel won the Nobel Prize for physics for the joint discovery of radioactivity.

		Maria Sklodowska crowned her brilliant high school career by graduating first in her class of 1883.
		Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie succumbed today to a disease caused by the elusive radium that she devoted her life to discovering and eventually isolating.

	Marie Sklodowska Curie
		And the research that her husband Pierre, and Marie Curie did, led to the understanding of the atom as being an entity that could be split to release enormous energy.
		The thing I've always found amazing about Marie Curie is that she was able to force her way to the top of her field, namely science, when it was considered to be exclusively for men.
		Because of her effort in the discovery of radium the unit of measurement of the radioactivity is called a curie, after Marie.

	Daria.no - Svenns skoleside - Maria Sklodowska-Curie
		In 1920 Curie and a number of her colleagues created the Curie Foundation, whose mission was to provide both the scientific and the medical divisions of the Radium Institute with adequate resources.
		Curie was grateful that her daughters were willing to pinch-hit for her when she felt she could not bear another public function.
		Among the false rumours the right-wing press spread about Curie was that she was Jewish, not truly French, and thus undeserving of a seat in the French Academy.
