⚡ Welcome to EP8 of OVERLOOKED! Today we’re exploring the story of one of the most legendary scientists in history… and yet, someone who still had to fight to be recognised: Marie Curie.
The year is 1898. In a cramped Paris laboratory, Marie and her husband Pierre discover two new elements: polonium and radium. These glowing substances would open the door to the age of radioactivity, transforming medicine and physics forever. But the discoveries came at a cost. Years of exposure slowly poisoned Marie, and despite winning two Nobel Prizes in different sciences (QUEEN), she was denied a seat at the French Academy of Sciences, SIMPLY because she was a woman.
🪄 Without Marie Curie, we wouldn’t have X-rays in hospitals, cancer radiotherapy, or even our modern understanding of radioactivity. S
🫨 And for this week’s LaboraTEAAAA… someone wrote in about their lab mate STEALING their slides from their computer and presenting them at a conference. The AUDACITY… We have thoughts.
