Post 7: An expert / person in your field that you admire

 Hi everyone!

I still don't know many people in the area of chemistry and pharmacy, but there is one person that I admire in the area of chemistry: Marie Curie.  Today I will talk about her.

In general I admire all women who are dedicated to science, especially those who did it in the past, when it was very difficult. There was a lot of discrimination to the woman in differents areas. A clear example is in 1903 when Marie and her husband won The Nobel Prize of Physics, in that case they did not permit what Marie received the prize only for be woman. Her husband took the credit.

Marie was not always be dear, received bad comments from the people for things that had nothing to do with her intellectual area. Still, she continued to strive, until in 1911 won the Nobel Prize of chemistry for isolate pure radius, with it contributed in the health for the first world war.

Marie was born in November 1867 in Poland and died in July 1934 in France. She died of aplastic anemia, attributed to his direct contact with radium and polonium. In simple words, Marie dedicated her life to science and opened the way for women in science.
