The expert that I admire

I honestly have never thought about who is the expert in the field of chemistry that I admire, so it took me a long time to choose one. In high school, I did a job as a great scientist and I was impressed with everything she achievement in her time, for this reason, my blog will be by Marie Curie.

Marie Salomea Skłodowska-Curie was born in 1867. She was an outstanding Polish scientist who made multiple advances for science, specifically in the field of radioactivity. Her great fame is due to being the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first person to receive 2 Nobel Prizes in different specialties (chemical and physical).

The first Nobel Prize that she obtained was that of Physical in 1903, together with her husband Pierre Curie, "in recognition of the extraordinary services rendered in their joint investigations into the radiation phenomena discovered by Henri Becquerel". The second first Nobel would come later, in 1911, this time alone due to the death of her husband in 1903, she would win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "in recognition of her services in advancing chemistry for the discovery of the elements radio and polonium, the isolation of radio and the study of the nature and compounds of this element".

Marie Curie died on July 4, 1934 from an aplastic anemia, due to the radiation to which she was exposed in her experiments.

Without a doubt, Marie Curie was a example to follow, an inspiration for many. It is remarkable her great achievements in an era where women were seen in less, especially in the scientific world and for this reason I choose.
