Marie Curie 1867~1934. Frédéric Joliot and Irène Joliot-Curie (1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry)

French chemists Frédéric Joliot and Irène Joliot-Curie communicated their discovery of artificial radioactivity to the French Academy of Sciences on 15 January 1934. They were awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work.
At the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm the Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry said in his speech: “Thanks to your discoveries, it has become possible, for the first time, to transform artificially one element into another hitherto unknown.”
They were the son-in-law and daughter of Nobel Prize laureates Pierre Curie and Marie Skłodowska Curie.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.

On this day in 1867, Polish and naturalized-French scientist Marie Curie was born in Warsaw. Today we pay tribute to this woman who passionately dedicated her life to scientific research. Largely known for her work in the radioactivity field, it is important to recall that Marie Curie was the first woman ever to receive the Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences, as well as the first woman to l
lecture at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
Marie Curie will always be an inspiring example to all women wishing to pursue a career in science. Today let us remember Marie Curie and let us remember that the World still needs more women in science.

In 1882, the Flying University consisted of professors, philosophers, and historians, who traveled from private home to private home and taught stories forbidden by the government. (via Curiosity)
