Celebrating Marie Curie

We were happy to install a simple exhibit on Marie Curie in the Price Science Commons for her 200th Birthday last year. We covered a bit about her life, and the work of her husband and her daughter, both sharing in Nobel Prizes with Marie, but at different times.  We also tried to highlight some of the extraordinary challenges Marie faced as a woman working in scientific fields overwhelmingly dominated by men.
