She created the term “radioactive” to describe materials with this characteristic. She and Pierre found two ores, chalcolite and pitchblende, were much more radioactive than pure uranium. Marie believed there was much more to be learned from undiscovered radioactive elements and dedicated most of her life to its research.

Marie had very little money while and school and often got sick because of poor diet but she worked hard against all her adversity. She only took three years to earn a degree in Physics at the top of her class. She also met the love of her life Pierre while she was there. They were both scientists.

			Marie Curie was the first female to win two Nobel Prizes!

			She was also the first women to be a physics professor at Sorbonne.

			It was soon discovered that all of Marie Curies work with radiation could be useful in treating cancer. She then created the Radium Institute in Warsaw, Poland in 1932. After World War II the name was changed to the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology. It was an institute dedicated to cancer research and treatments options.

			She also founded the Curie Institute in Paris which continues to be a major center for cancer research.

			===Famous Quotes===

			“We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.”

			"Have no fear of perfection; you'll never reach it. Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood."

			"Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas"
