Chemist Marie Curie Research Paper

According to http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/consequences-not-eating-healthy-5078.html, “Unhealthy eating is responsible for a plethora of health problems that plague today's society. An unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for obesity, nutritional deficiencies and several chronic diseases.” In 1984, the Culver family opened a restaurant in in their hometown; Sauk City, Wisconsin. Using their favorite treat, custards, and their mother's recipes George and Ruth started the restaurant with no previous training. The restaurant soon turned into a great success across 24 states. Culver’s is not a healthy place to eat because the meals have too many calories, too much fat, and too much sodium.

As Marie grew up, her mother would read books to her. Her favourite books were about scientists, and science in general.

Marie Maynard Daly was the first african-american women to get a P.H.D in chemistry. Marie

The next famous French chef that greatly changed this great cuisine is Marie Antoine Carême. Born in to a poor family on June 8th 1784, Marie Antoine Carême was named in honor of Marie Antoinette. He preferred to use the name Antonin because of his name sake’s actions(Olguta). Being one of 15 kids he had to fend for himself at a very early age. Having been kicked out of his house, Antonin roamed the streets of Paris until a tavern keeper offered him lodging and work. That is how he got his first job in a kitchen. Within his 6 year stay at the tavern he went from being a pot washer to being a cook (Olguta). Without this experience Antoine would never have learned how to cook and we would never have his many great contributions to the French cuisine.

During the 1800’s, there were not a lot of female scientists. Marie Curie became the first woman to receive a nobel prize, and also the first to receive two of them. She was a Polish-French physicist and chemist who discovered two elements and was famous for her work with radioactivity. She got her love of science from her father, a physics and mathematics teacher. She moved to Paris to further her education and there met her future husband, Pierre Curie, and took his place at Sorbonne when he passed away as the first women to hold that position. Those were not the only thing she accomplished as a female scientist in the 1800’s. Marie paved the way for many more female scientists in the future.

Marie Daly is a famous biochemist who had to overcome dual hurdles of racial and gender bias to peruse her lifelong love of chemistry. Marie had to undergo judgment from her being a woman and trying to become a scientist, which was a male dominated occupation and also had to endure racism because she was an African American. Marie made many scientific discoveries that we are lucky to have today.

Many women have had an impact on science over the years and their accomplishments tend to be underappreciated by the public eye. Often times, there are important people that have made a significant impact on the world that we have today that do not receive the credit and attention that they deserve for their accomplishments. Recognizing and acknowledging people that have made an impact on society now and in the past, is an important part of learning about history and the accomplishments of the past.

Marie Daly Clark, born Marie Maynard Daly, is most commonly known for being the first black woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in the U.S. Marie was born April 16, 1921 in Queens, New York. Marie came from a family that strongly believed in the strength of education. As a child she loved to read and learn about science. Her father Ivan C. Daly was a postal worker and her mother, Helen, was a homeworker. Marie couldn’t have any children because she had her tubes removed before she was 16.

Inez Robb, an impressive woman herself, wrote an article entitled, “Youthful Physicist Wins ‘Woman of The Year’ Award”, published in the Washington Post on December 30, 1945. Less than a year after the end of World War II, women were feeling pressure to return to their positions back in the home, to go back to being the feminine ideal.

Eleanore Dumont went by several names; Sara Da Valliere, Simone Jules, Emiliene Dumont, but oftentimes known as Madame Mustache. Her sobriquet was given because of the dark, dark hair near her upper lip. Not most information was known during her early lifestyle, though people say that she arrived in San Fransisco and soon established herself as a notorious gambler at the Bella Union Hotel; there was great money to be earned at her favorite game, Vingtetun, which is also known as 21.

Women are a minority in the careers of math, science, engineering, and technology. Judith Resnik is one of the most famous females who have succeeded in this career minority. Resnik is known for her amazing intelligence and her involvement in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Judith Resnik is a woman to be remembered in STEM because of her intellectual background, her endeavor to succeed, and her legacy.

When thinking of the top scientist throughout history Linus Pauling might come to mind. Pauling is not only credited with being an award winning chemist but he is also a great humanitarian. Pauling overcame many obstacles in his early life to accomplish the outstanding work he did throughout the years, he was not only a revolutionist in his main field of chemistry but he also saved lives with his humanitarian work, he leaves behind an astonishing legacy and holds many awards and prizes.

Marie Curie LIFE OF MARIE CURIE      Marie Curie(1867-1934) was a French physicist with many accomplishments in both physics and chemistry. Marie and her husband Pierre, who was also a French physicist, are both famous for their work in radioactivity.      Marie Curie, originally named Marja Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw, Poland on Nov.7, 1867. Her first learning of physics came from her father who taught it in high school. Marie's father must have taught his daughter well because in 1891, she went to Paris(where she changed her original name) and enrolled in the Sorbonne.

Marie curie made history in 1903 when she became the first woman to get a Nobel Prize in physics. With their prize winning the Curie’s got an international reputation for their scientific efforts. With the prize money they continued their research and went even further. The next year in 1904, they had their second daughter Eve. In 1906 Marie suffered a tremendous loss; when Pierre accidentally

Marie Curie... She is best known for her discovery of radium and polonium and her work with radioactivity. She encountered times of adversity in her career just because she was a woman, but she met her challenges and overcame them. Marie Curie exceeded the barriers put on women in her time to become one of the world’s most famous scientists and used her knowledge to the benefit of humanity.
