She who did Work
Today is the birthday anniversary of Marie Sklodowska Curie, information courtesy of the Britannica folks. [Link] If you are old enough to have had an analog watch with glow-in-the-dark hands and numerals, then it was because of the work of Marie and her husband Pierre. Supposedly her interred remains also glow.
She is what is sometimes called a ‘twofer’, signifying that she won two Nobel prizes, one in chemistry and another in physics. The first she shared with her husband who died early under the wheels of a beer wain.
Despite the wrangle Hollywood has made of her, she is ample evidence of what is good in the species.
