#OTD in 1867, #MarieCurie was born.

In addition to her great scientific merits, let's remember her generous activity as a "radiologist" during the WWI.

In fact, she devised "mobile units" as a means of diagnosis for wounded soldiers.

#MarieCurie founded, starting in 1916, the theoretical and practical teaching for basic #education in radiology, at the Institut du Radium in Paris.

Abt 150 people, recruited from all backgrounds, were successfully trained in the use of X-ray machines. https://twitter.com/Nereide/status/1312040575366033408

Emotions & feelings played a large part in guiding #MarieCurie's choices and life.

If her love affair with a young Polish aristocrat hadn't ended unhappily and if the University hadn't been forbidden to women at that time, she probably wouldn't have moved to #Paris to study.

#MarieCurie lived for #Science- she is the only person to win a Nobel Prize in 2 sciences- without being corrupted by notoriety, giving up the economic benefits she could have enjoyed together with #PierreCurie, thanks to their discoveries.
