THE ONLY!<br />

Marie Curie was a Polish-French physicist and chemist. She was the<br />

first woman to win a Nobel prize and the only person ever to win a<br />

Nobel prize in two different scientific fields. Her research was mostly<br />

about radioactivity and she discovered two new elements – polonium<br />

and radium. Unfortunately she died in 1934 from exposure to radiation<br />

– safety guidelines and precautions were not as advanced then as<br />

they are now. Her notebooks are so radioactive that even now, nearly<br />

90 years after her death, they still aren’t safe to handle!<br />
