Marie Curie
1. Marie Curie was a famous Polish/French scientists who was known for her research on radioactivity. In 1903, she won the Nobel Prize for physics and in 1911, the Nobel Prize for chemistry.
2. Together with her husband, she discovered two new elements: Polonium and Radium. Her work contributed greatly to how radiation affects our medicine today. This can be seen by how much work she put into developing our knowledge of X-rays.
3. Her most famous work, which would be discovering Polonium and Radium, helped develop her generation's scientific prowess, and she also won 2 Nobel Prizes for her work. She also influenced future generations with her work by paving the way to discovering neutrons, artificial radioactivity, and more.
4. I believe in many ways Rosalind Franklin is similar to Marie Curie. Rosalind Franklin was known for her work in DNA, RNA, etc. She helped determine exactly how the double helix looked, and she used radiation to create an X-ray to see the strand. These two scientists truly influenced our technologies and scientific advancements today.
