Marie Curie, is famous for her work in the field of physics and chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and went on to become the first person to win a Nobel Prize TWICE!!! 

The research alongside her husband Pierre led to the discovery of polonium and radium, and she championed the development of X-rays ~ so much of Marie’s work is still used today. 

Jussy’s recommendation was the HBO Max series ‘The sex lives of college girls’ ~ available on Binge in Australia. 

Chole gave a shout out to local lady start up Novo Tan and the new series Snack Masters on Chanel nine.
