Pioneers who unlocked the secrets of nature
The "Martyr of Science" who discovered Polonium and Radium, working in a shed so cold and damp it would have broken a lesser spirit. Marie Curie is the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences, proving that brilliance knows no gender and no borders.
