1. ON THIS DAY . . .

November 7th, 1867
It was on this day that famed scientist Madame Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland. She was trained at the Sorbonne University in France in both mathematics and physics. After her husband Pierre Curie died, Marie Curie became the first woman Professor of General Physics at the Sorbonne and headed up the Physics Laboratory. Together with her husband and Becquerel, she received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, and in 1911 she received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

"Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."
