Madame Curie (Marie Sklodowska Curie) was a Polish scientist who studied radioactivity. She won the Nobel Prize–twice–and in different fields of study. She was also the first woman to become a professor. She passed at the age of 66 due to complications related to her research into radioactivity, a term she is said to have coined. Her notebooks are still radioactive and researchers who wish to study them must sign a waiver to do so. -- source link
