Many people wonder who made a more significant contribution to society,Marie Curie or Louis Pasteur. Well, i'm here to voice my opinion to you all. Marie Curie was an spectacular at her studies when she was younger. Being born in Poland, opportunities for studies were limited so she went to Paris. After working as a governess, she studied in Sorbonne, Paris. She struggled to learn in French, so she studied more and more. She eventually got a degree in physics and finished at the top of her school. After that she got a degree in math. In Paris,she met Pierre Curie who was the chief of a laboratory. He was a renowned chemist. Pierre liked young Marie and asked her to marry him. He sure had to beg and finally, she relented. She discovered two elements in her studies radium and polonium. Radium made x-rays, which helped in world war 1 and are still used today. Marie later died from cancer because of her studies with radium. …show more content…
He was a hard working student, but not the best. He received a doctorate degree in 1847. He also spent lots of time related to research on tartrate acid. He found different ways to kill many different germs. He found cures for rabies and anthrax and found a way to pasteurize milk. That saved many lives. In conclusion, I think that Louis Pasteur had the most significant contributions to society because if it was not for him, we would not have pets without rabies and we wound have no milk. That's my opinion...whats
Montaigne was especially revolutionary for his
I nominate Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a brilliant artist that didn't get as much attention as he should've because he didn't follow the "exact" career path or the model that was set before him. He took a different approach by working with private collectors instead of royalty. His work was influenced by the Rocco style of art, with a erotic, whimsical-fun flare that captures the eye and holds it in awe. He expressed love and adventure in his art work that is still admired today. For example "The Swing",painted in 1767, depicts a bourgeois woman enjoying the simple pleasure of swinging. His works encompass the freedom and curiosity that was the Enlightenment period. In the "The Stolen Kiss", Fragonard shows a deep passion for intimacy,and love with
Within the Era of the French Revolution, there came more than just political change. The ideas of chemistry were transformed into a modern science with the ground-breaking research of Antoine Lavoisier. His experiments on combustion, respiration and calcination helped propel chemical science into a modern science with the knowledge to make it more known to others internationally. His hard work and wealth made him known today as the leader of chemical revolution that took place within the eighteenth century.

She received her first Nobel Peace Prize in 1903. For this she became the first woman to receive a Nobel Peace Prize and receive two Nobel Prize. Her second Nobel Peace Prize was given to her in 1911. She received them for her accomplishments in physics and chemistry. Marie Curie, in my opinion, is best known for her discovery relating radioactivity. Marie was fascinated with the work of Henri Becquerel, who was a French physicist who discovered uranium casts off rays, weaker rays than the X-rays. Marie’s main discovery was to isolate the radioactive elements. Pierre and Marie discovered two new radioactive elements, radium and polonium. Because of all her exposure to radioactivity, she got leukemia. But as she left, she left another awesome women of science who also received Nobel Peace Prize in
Even though there is an abundant amount of scientist and physicist that have had a successful career, there is one that really catches my eye. Rosalind Franklin died on April 16, 1958, as an English chemist and an X-ray crystallographer. She had a prevalent amount of discoveries, and was very well accomplished in life.
I believe Marie Curie has contributed more to society then Louis Pasteur because she discovered radium, was very determined, and installed x-rays machines in hospitals.
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
As I sit and reflect, there is so much of my work that I owe to a great many of my predecessors. However, there is one man who keeps coming to mind and without his contributions to science almost 275 years ago; my work could have taken a drastically different course. I have devoted my life to the sciences, starting my career as a chemist in Zurich. Even then I was interested in the mechanisms of immunity and the nature of antibodies (Nobel). This led me to the discovery of blood groups and because of that; blood transfusions became realty, saving untold numbers of people throughout the world. None of this could have happened without the brilliant work of Marcello
Born as Maria Skłodowska on November 7,1867 in Warsaw, Poland, she was born to a family who viewed education as very important and essential. She had four siblings; four sisters Sofia, Helena, Bronislawa and a brother Joseph. Due to her father teaching Physics, Marie developed interest in reading and physics. She began to attend a “floating” school to learn since she couldn’t obtain higher education because she was a woman. She overcame many obstacles and discovered things that help cure diseases and gave insights to different aspects of science.
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.
History is so often the story of great accomplishments, done by great men. Rarely do we see the victories of women celebrated in textbooks or documentaries. While reading about the history of chemical discoveries, I often come upon paragraphs lauding the discoveries of Antoine Lavoisier. In the fine print, however, is another name: that of his wife, Marie-Anne Lavoisier. Little is known of her, but her importance in the history of chemistry cannot be overstated. In a time when women in the sciences were more rare than satisfied French peasantry, her contributions in the late 1700s set her apart. She translated essays so that her husband may examine their truths. She acted as scribe, as lab assistant, and as scientist herself. Still, she disappears
Although Marie Curie was a female borne into a male dominated empire she ended up getting a very good education and developed lifesaving radiologic technology. née Maria Salomea Skłodowska was borne in Warsaw, Russian Empire (now Poland). She later married to Pierre Curie and had two daughters, one being Irene Curie who was also a famous scientist. Marie Curie was a physicist and a chemist who made a lot of advancements in the field of science and in women’s achievement level. Marie Curie made many breakthroughs that impact the world today, such as the development of radiology, the development of treatments for cancer, the empowerment of women to join the field of science, and inspiring women to get educations.

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.
