Review:
        Marie Sklodowska, as she was called before marriage, was born in Warsaw in 1867In 1894, she met the French chemist Pierre Curie. Although Pierre had already made a name for himself, their collaboration proved far more fruitful than his solo career. They spent much of their careers studying radioactivity (a term coined by Marie), examining the particles and energy produced as radioactive atoms decayed, and in the process learned about the building blocks of matter. They established that the heavy element thorium was radioactive and discovered two new elements: polonium and radium. They refined techniques for extracting radium from ores. Marie won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry for their work.
