Introduction: Aim To emphasize that Marie Curie devoted her life to scientific researches even to risk her own life Ra 88

Introduction: Outline Includes H.Becquerel, radioactivity, lab conditions, her Noble Prizes and her death Excludes her family and supporting factors Ra 88

Studies of French physicist Henri Becquerel about emitted rays of uranium inspired Curie’s researches U 98

As a result of this inspiration, the term radioactivity is coined by Marie Cruie. radioactivity Ra 88

Even though she spent a lot of time in inadequate laboratories in order to make researches,

She was the first person ever to receive two Nobel Prize for radioactivity and isolation of pure radium 2 Ra 88 U82U82

One of her outstanding achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense radioactive sources intense radioactive sources

Ra 88 As a result, she provided an abundant supply for research in nuclear physics

Concequently; she died of leukemia caused by her exposure to the radium that made her famous. leukemia Ra 88

After that, recognizing her with the highest posthumous honor, the French Government transferred her ashes to Paris posthumous honor

Radioactivity: A kind of energy in the form of harmful and powerful rays Ra 88

Leukemia: A kind of illness caused by exposure to radioactive rays Ra 88

Intense radioactive sources: The source of very strong energy in the form of harmful and powerful rays Ra 88

Posthumous honor: Special award that is given after the someone’s death relating the success of them before they died
