Black-and-white photograph of Marie Curie in her Paris laboratory. She stands in a long dark dress with a high collar, carefully holding a glass round-bottom flask, surrounded by early 20th-century scientific equipment including a large glass carboy on the bench behind her. The two-time Nobel laureate is captured mid-experiment, focused and composed.
Black-and-white photograph of Irรจne Joliot-Curie in a white lab coat at the Radium Institute. Marie Curieโs daughter and 1935 Nobel Chemistry co-winner stands at a workbench lined with beakers, test tubes, and glassware, her expression serious and concentrated amid the tools of radioactivity research.
#OTD in 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a #Nobel Prize (#Physics).
