Marie Curie was a famous Polish chemist. Marie and her husband Pierre Curie were early researchers in radioactivity. She received her first Nobel Prize in 1903 for physics‚ together with Pierre and Henri Bequerell‚ for research in the area of radioactivity. In 1911‚ she was given a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work in discovering radium and polonium. Discovery of Radium and Polonium Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of radium and polonium. She

Being strong with yourself lets people know you are not going to give up. “It seemed she denied to the end the source of cataracts on her eyes”… (line 10-11). Only one with immense strength would be able to work through this kind of illness. Marie Curie‚ whom this poem is written about‚ continued to work with these radioactive elements‚ even though there were killing her physically. Mentally she new what she wanted to do before he died and she had the strength to do that. She denied that fact she

My missionary trip to Guatemala: eight weeks in a different country‚ spending my time with hundreds of other strangers from morning to night‚ working almost all day. I knew this was what I would be getting myself into. Eight weeks among strangers done to expose myself to the varying Health Science and Humanitarian field. My curiosity and insatiable hunger for learning dampened my fears. I wanted to do this- to challenge myself- to take myself out of my comfort zone‚ and that is what I did. Eight

Who invented the periodic table? Dmitri Mendeleev invented the periodic in 1869‚ 5 years after John Newlands put forward his law of Octaves. Part of Dmitri’s periodic table He realised that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a ’periodic’ way‚ and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table. He also stated: The elements‚ if arranged according to their atomic mass‚ exhibit an apparent periodicity
