Name: Marie Curie
1. Marie Curie was a scientist (physicist and chemist), who specifically worked on projects regarding radioactivity. She had contributed immensely to the scientific world.
2. She is a two time Nobel Prize winner, one for Physics and one for Chemistry. She was the first female professor in the University of Paris.
3. Marie Curie was very well educated for women in her generation. She researched and wrote a lot of doctoral thesis, and was one of the first French women to do so. She influenced the generation with an immense amount of knowledge about radiation.
4. I don't know many physicists and chemist in my culture, so I will expand briefly on how Marie Curie and Albert Einstein (an american physicist) both had a substantial amount of influence to the world, even until today. Albert Einstein invented the refrigerator. Marie Curie studied radiation, which is a very broad category involving certain things we use everyday such as microwaves. Both of these scientists made an influence on humans' everyday life.
