Marie Salomea Skłodowska-Curie (1867 – 1934), known simply as Marie Curie, was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.
Biography
Scientific discoveries
Marie Curie's key discoveries include the isolation of radium in 1902 and the discovery of polonium in 1898,[1] both of which significantly advanced society's understanding of radioactivity and its applications in science and medicine. For which she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at the 1911 Nobel Prize Awards.[2]
Death
Marie later died on 4 July 1934 due to long-term exposure to radiation,[2] and was later buried in the cemetery at Sceaux alongside her husband, Pierre Curie.[1] Sixty years later in 1995,[1] they were both later transferred to the Panthéon.[3]
Legacy
Her discovered element, Polonium, was later used as a lethal poison for assassination attempts in modern times.[2] In November 2013, Abstergo Entertainment employee Kama Neron discussed with their colleagues in an email chain started by their Chief Creative Officer Olivier Garneau, regarding future locations for their projects. As Neron abhorred violence, they suggested focusing on moment's in history that reflected people's ingenuity, like Marie Curie working in France. Though they hadn't found an descendant of Curie or anyone who worked with her, Neron was still shut down by Evan Dean as it wasn't an interesting enough prospect.[4]
