  • 1 min read

Book now for IOP Physics Hub on Thursday 5 March at 7pm online. At this Hub we focus on Marie Curie and her pioneering work on Radioactivity. Marie and her husband, Pierre, discovered two new radioactive elements, polonium and radium. The Curies shared in the 1903 Nobel prize for Physics and Marie went on to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911. Marie and her daughter, Irene, spent much of the 1st world war trying to save lives on the battlefield with their mobile x-ray equipment. Irene got the 1935 Nobel Prize with her husband Frederic Joliot for work on radioactive isotopes. Newly qualified teachers and teachers of JC Science are welcome.
