Marie Curie
Marie Curie chased knowledge so relentlessly it eventually killed her.
The pioneering scientist discovered radioactive elements and transformed modern physics and medicine. Her research made radiation therapy possible and opened the door to nuclear science.
She also became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
But Curie’s work came at enormous cost. Years of exposure to radiation slowly destroyed her health.
In a league filled with inventors who built companies and fortunes, Curie represents something very different:
The scientist who sacrificed everything just to understand the universe.
