On this day Marie Curie and her husband Pierre discovered radium. Marie Curie was a pioneering physicist and chemist who made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of radioactivity, a term she actually coined. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields: Physics and Chemistry. In addition to her scientific achievements, Curie was deeply committed to the practical application of her research. During World War I, she established mobile radiography units, known as “Little Curies”, to provide X-ray services to field hospitals, significantly improving medical care for wounded soldiers.
I thought the Bolognese Guglielmo Marconi was the one who discovered the radio. Maybe I remembered wrong, Marconi was the one who invented tortellini.
The important thing is that whatever you may have thought, in the end it all comes back to tortellini! 🙂
Bon appetit!
Unfortunately she died of radiation
Almost inevitable, I suppose.
