Product Description
She risked her life for science. That much is undeniable. The winner of not just one but two Nobel Prizes, Marie Curie died in 1934 of radiation poisoning - from years of investigating the dangerous elements that she herself had discovered. Until recently, her notebooks were still so radioactive that scientists and scholars had to sign a medical release before looking at them.
