How has nuclear medicine innovated science and society? Within the last century, science faced several discoveries that caused the scientific community and society to change one another. When evaluating the scientific discoveries during the twentieth century, the decisive advancements took place in the study of nuclear physics. Affecting both science and society inquires formed around medical uses for nuclear materials. Advanced research in nuclear science with radioisotopes allowed doctors to treat

Paris Opéra Ballet. Where the first act is based on a Scottish folktale Trilby, ou Le lutin d’Argail and the second opening scene of the Old Madge’s witchcraft inspired by Niccolò Paganini's Le Streghe.

history of Marie Antoinette, they may not fully comprehend the lively debate that continues to exist around Marie Antoinette. A debate over how Marie Antoinette should be remembered exists, with some arguing that Antoinette was spoiled and careless and others taking the stance that Antoinette was a victim of her harsh circumstances.

Barbara Goldsmith sets the stage for a journey through the life of the well-respected Marie Curie with her enshrining in the Panthéon. She justifies her place in the world through science and proves that one can still be successful through misfortune. Madame Curie may be known for her discovery of radium and advances in radioactivity, but Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie reveals a much more complex life of a woman ahead of her time. Madame Curie is deserving of her high honor and

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

Marie Curie is an inspiration to many women because of her dedication to scientific discovery that resulted in her being the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. It was, and still is, difficult for women to establish themselves in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field as related professions have historically been male dominated. However, Marie Curie’s work with radiation and the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry that followed opened the door of possibilities for women

‘Radium Girls’ disaster stemmed from one of the most influential scientific discoveries of the late 19th century; the element of Radium. French chemists Marie and Pierre Curie first reported the discovery of Radium in 1898 (Sutera, 2013, p. 1) when they found it embedded within small amounts of Uranium Ore (Carter, 1 Paragraph 5). Marie and Pierre were surprised to note that this amazing new element glowed in the dark (Carter, 2007, p. 1). Little did the French scientists know that this interesting

as the leader of the Liberal Party but was already active in politics as young as the age of twelve. He attended Liberal rallies and worked for the party under his father, Wellie Chretien, who was a Liberal Party organizer. Along with his mother, Marie Boisvert-Chretien, they lived in an apartment owned by the mill where his father worked one of his three jobs. Chretien was accepted into the Laval University with a scholarship and graduated with a Law degree

Over one hundred years ago, in 1911, a French-polish woman was awarded not her first but second Nobel Peace Prize. This time for discovering a new element. She was awarded, “"in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element." This was and still is a fascinating and remarkable element. Radium has had an intense history of misuse which

The Enlightenment – known in French as the Siècle des Lumières, the Century of Enlightenment, and in German as the Aufklärung – was a philosophical movement which dominated the world of ideas in Europe in the 18th century.
