I love this article so much. However, I want to point out to an important piece of misinformation. Namely, the name of this prominent researcher is Maria Skłodowska-Cuire. She is a very important Polish figure - the first woman in the world to become a Noble Prize winner, the only one who received this award twice and the first female professor at the University of Sorbonne. Not mentioning her true name unfortunately hides her true identity and undermines the cultural significance of her life. Namely, referring to her as Marie Curie might imply she was French without acknowledging that she was Polish and grew up in Poland. She moved to France as she could not study in the partitioned Poland. She married a French man, but kept her Polish surname as she wanted the world to remember about her nationality, she wanted to be referred to as Maria not Marie and have her Polish surname included in the media.
