I am a physicist and chemist. My science research on radiation discovered two new elements, polonium and radium, isolated radium, and earned two Nobel Prizes, in physics and in chemistry.
The person outside the work — what they're learning and tinkering with.
In 1890–1891 I began practical scientific training in a Warsaw chemistry laboratory run by Józef Boguski, once Mendeleyev's assistant, while studying at the Flying University and teaching myself.
In 1900 I became the first woman faculty member at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles, and in June 1903 I earned my doctorate from the University of Paris under Gabriel Lippmann.
