Today, Nov. 7 would be Marie Curie's 144th birthday. Google's image today honors her.

Found in looking around today that Marie Curie is the symbol of International Year of Chemistry 2011. (This year 2011 commemorates the 100th anniversary of Marie Sklodowska-Curie's receipt of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.)

And it sounds like France and Poland have some sort of declaration of this year as the Year of Marie Curie as well.

Just seeing this but would love to do something this week to celebrate her life and follow a bit of a rabbit trail.

I love that she is Polish born, so we will focus some on that heritage which she shares with our family.

~ first woman ever to win the Nobel
~ first researcher to win in multiple sciences (physics and chemistry)


Resources anyone?

My son (13) is reading The Story of Madame Curie right now. For high school I would recommend Madame Curie, a biography written by her daughter Eve. I read it when I was about 17 and really liked it.

We borrowed Marie Curie More Than Meets the Eye from the library. It's part of the Inventors' Special movie series. We'll be watching at the end of our day

That's a great series. The same people have made one about musicians and artists. Very enjoyable!
