Living (and loving) Life
“Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.”
-–John Dewey
If there’s one person in history that this quote fits to a “T”, it’s Marie Curie.
You might not be familiar with Madame Curie, but if you’ve ever had an X-RAY taken you benefited from her amazing body of work.
In addition to helping develop the field of nuclear medicine, she was also a trail-blazer for women who are interested in the study of science.
This amazing lady’s many historic achievements literally helped create the world as we know it today. Her research in the field of radiation both changed the world and shortened her life.
I invite you to watch the short video below for an overview of Madame Curie’s many contributions to society.
