Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. She studied physics and mathematics in Paris, becoming the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize in 1903 for her research on radioactivity. She discovered the elements radium and polonium. Throughout her career, she overcame societal barriers as a female scientist. Her research revolutionized the field of physics and laid the foundations of modern oncology. She established several research institutions that still operate today under her name. Marie Curie died in 1934 from aplastic anemia caused by exposure to radiation during her scientific work.
