Person/Expert you admire

Hello, today I will tell you about my favorite scientist Marie Curie.
Well she was a Polish chemist and physicist-nationalized French-of century XIX and XX.
Marie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland,  and by the era it had to be limited to study in secret by the fact of being woman, until she moved  to Paris, where he studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Paris. In 1894 he met his husband and research partner: physics professor Pierre Curie, with which he would end up elucidating important findings in the field of radioactivity.

In 1903 defended his doctoral thesis titled "Investigations on the radioactive substances", work that earned him the doctor's degree and the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1903 (shared with his husband Pierre Curie and his director of thesis Henri Becquerel).
Her last major academic recognition was the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was awarded to her in 1910 for the discovery of "Polonium" (named after her native country) and "Radio".
Finally she died at age 66 in his native country due to a disease derived from the high radiation to which she was exposed much of her life.
She I like it because it is an icon of women in science and society, was the first person to receive two Nobel prizes and was also a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, investigating its use for medicinal purposes.Besides She was the first woman to teach at the University of Paris, so for me it is someone admirable.
