The Curie was named after the scientist best known for her study of radioactivity (a term she coined). Madame Curie created techniques for isolating isotopes, discovered two new elements, and was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes. Despite being denied tenure at Krakow University in her hometown because she was a woman, Curie went on to prove their folly with her world-changing research which included the first attempts at using radiology as a possible cure for cancer.
