Marie Curie


Today is the birthday of Marie Curie, the ONLY person ever to win two Nobel prizes in two separate fields of science. When she shared the 1903 Prize in physics with her husband, he made sure to emphasize that a considerable amount the work was completed solely by his wife. After his death, she was awarded a second, unshared Prize in 1911. Marie’s daughter, Irene, would continue the family tradition of excellence in science by receiving a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1935.
