Curious about Curie Society?

Marie Curie (1867-1934) was a pioneer in the research of radioactivity, discovering elements Radium and Polonium. Curie was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize, and also the first person ever honored with two Nobel Prizes in two different science categories. Marie Curie was a scientist ahead of her time, important to the field of science much like Curie Society is important to the Science Museum of Minnesota.
