Pierre Curie

Encounter Marie Curie fits the theme perfectly in another way, encounter. She had a troublesome time getting the education she needed, and even when she presented a reasonable hypothesis, it was all but brushed off because she was not respected. Curie also had an encounter with the Solvay conference, which was a gathering of some of the greatest minds at the time. One of the most important things Curie did was help during World War One by inventing and distributing portable x-ray machines to help

Although Marie Curie was not the first woman to excel in science or mathematics, she can be considered the first major woman scientist to receive full credit for her scientific work. Considering her Nobel prizes alone, she is ranked at the top of the scientists of the modern period. Despite this, somehow Marie Curie’s popular images, as well as those embedded in some of the scholarly literature, suggest important, but rather modest contributions to society (Pycior, 301). Marie Curie was born Maria

06-01-2017: Interview as a Safety Support Worker for MidYorks Hospital. I had an interview for a new job today at Pinderfields Hospital. The interview went really well and the Senior Sister gave me an offer instantly. However upon realising that I could only work part time (23 hours/ week) and not a bank position, I started to wonder whether the job will be suitable for me. Initially was really keen in getting the job because I was fed up of cleaning the wards for mediocre results. I was even more

Marie Curie was the first woman to receive the doctoral degree and two Nobel prizes. Marie Curie faced many troubles in a male dominated field .she became a famous female scientist. She didn’t leave her love for science in the laboratories, she followed her enthusiasm for science. She is recognized

Marie Curie “ “Have no fear of perfection; you'll never reach it."” (“Marie Curie the Scientist”) a quote by Marie Curie ties into her life very well. She was not afraid to mess up because she knew that every time she messed up, she would just get better. She created a pathway for all females wanting to go into science. Marie Curie was a very well known female scientist, she discovered radiation, and she won many awards. Marie had a lot of perseverance. She never let what other people thought

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through some material or through space. Pierre and Marie Curie were partners that had both become interested in the discovery Henri Becquerel made which was the discovery of radioactivity. Marie and Pierre Curie came up with the term "radioactivity" to describe Becquerel's discovery. Marie and Pierre extracted uranium from ore and compared the pure uranium to the extracted uranium ore samples. They found that the uranium ore samples contained

I am nominating Dr. Sonya Kovalevsky for the Blake Science “Wall of Honor.” Dr. Sonya Kovalevsky was born in Moscow, Russia (1850) traveling around Europe until her death in Stockholm, Sweden (1891) where she died of influenza. She worked primarily as a mathematician until was granted full professorship and taught at Stockholm University as a professor – the first woman ever to have held such a title in Northern Europe. At the time she was married to Vladimir Kovalevsky, a Russian scholar, but she

Pauline Cushman I chose Pauline Cushman for my project because her birthday really caught my eye when I first got to an informational page about her. I saw that her birthday was June 10th when mine is June 9th. I thought it was cool so I decided to choose her. As I kept reading I found out that she was a Union spy and an actress which I found not only interesting, but slightly fascinating. Pauline Cushman was married three times and had three children. Pauline Cushman was married to three

What do Kingda Ka and the discoverer of radioactivity, Marie Curie, have in common? Actually, there is a lot more than you would think. You might say to yourself that they are completely different, which is correct, yet incorrect. One thing is a rollercoaster and the other is a famous scientist, but when you look past just their physical descriptions, you will see how much they actually are alike. They both follow similar paths and they both faced many hardships, but also many great things. Firstly
