Marie Sklodowska-Curie was the first person to receive the Nobel prize, the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences but died of leukemia as a result of radioactive exposure in the course of her research.
Many library collections use special equipment, such as special gloves and climate-controlled rooms, to protect the archival materials from the visitor. For the Pierre and Marie Curie collection at France's Bibliotheque National, it's the other way around.That's because after more than 100 years, much of Marie Curie's stuff – her papers, her furniture, even her cookbooks – are still radioactive.People who want to peruse the collection must wear protective clothing and sign a release.
