Biography Maria

Maria graduated from high school in Warsaw with a gold medal, after which she worked as a tutor and a governess for eight years. In the laboratory at the Museum of Industry and Agriculture in Warsaw, she passed the preparatory stage in research on chemistry and physics. In gg. In the house of Professor Kovalsky, she met Pierre Curie, who married in the year and accepted French citizenship.

The first publication of Kuri-Sklodovskaya was published in the year and drew the attention of scientists to the rays of Beckerel. In previous work, one of us proved that their activity is more intense than the activity of uranium and thorium, we expressed the opinion that this fact depends on another extremely active substance that is located in these ores in a minimum amount.

The number of works on the topic of radioactivity has increased significantly. In the city of Beckerl and the Kuri spouses were awarded the Nobel Physics Prize. After the premature tragic death of Pierre Curie in Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya, she continued to study independently. Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya was engaged not only in scientific activities, but also by public, as well as organizational.

She collaborated when creating a radiological laboratory of the Warsaw Scientific Society. As a result of her efforts in the year, a radio institute was established in Paris, in which studies of the physical and chemical properties of radioactive elements were conducted; She also founded the biological department. During the First World War, Maria, being the head of the X -ray service at the Ministry of Military Affairs, organized near new or updated radiological blocks, and also transferred the army of 20 mobile x -ray outpatient clinics with equipment from its own laboratory.

Thanks to the efforts of Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya for the first time at the school of nurses in France, the radiological department was opened until the end of the war, under the guidance of the scientist, radiological laboratory assistants were trained. The Nobel Prize laureate gave rise to the separation of radio therapy at the radio institute Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya shared her experience and knowledge in the field of radiology with American students of medicine, which are at the front in Europe.

Kuri-Sklodovskaya conducted similar courses on radiology for young radiologists from all over Europe within the first two years after the war. Huge help in this was provided by her daughter Irena. After the First World War, the construction of the medical and scientific center of the Radiyski Institute began in the revived capital of Poland, at the opening of which Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya was personally present in the year.

As a result of long-term work with Radius, Maria Kuri-Sklodovskaya became one of the first victims of radiation disease. According to documents, she died on July 4 from aplastic anemia, in connection with pantopenia, the cause of which was ionizing radiation.
