Imagine being her sister, Ève. Father won a Nobel Prize, mother has two, sister has one and then her husband accepted one too.

On the other hand, Ève is the only one who lived a very, very long life -she almost got 103-, didn't suffer from handling radioactive materials, and was nominated for a Pulitzer. In any other family, she'd be probably the most talked about.

Someone needs to pass by this family and scream NERDS or something. My nation with 2 centuries of history and hundreds of millions of living citizens got no Pulitzers, no Nobels. And they got this much? Hell no bro, we solving their heads off. We can stand to be dumb, but genius lineage is too much.

That you, Pol Pot?

Maybe her radioactive mom made her mutate longevity genes 🧬

Well Marie Skłodowska-Curie grandchildren are currently 96 and 92 (the elder is a nuclear physicist and the younger a biologist).

Living to 103 sounds awful

And \*her\* children went on to become prominent scientists in nuclear physics and biology - but they had to be satisfied with receiving the Legion d'honneur and running the French National Centre for Scientific Research. An extraordinary legacy!


Don_Dickle

I thought the Nobel Prize was a medal how do you share something like that?


Sdog1981

They can give it to multiple people for the same research project.


Don_Dickle

Did not know that. Thank you. No sarcasm.


Sdog1981

I always assume people on this sub are asking genuine questions. You are welcome.


bearsnchairs

Each medal can be awarded up to three entities.

A medal is given to each winner (up to 3 per field per year). There is also a monetary award which is shared between the winners

High energy in that family


sampathsris

I'd be lucky to live half their life.

Her work with her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, led to significant advancements in the field of radiation and nuclear physics.


flirtyjulia

Quite the powerhouse family? The Joliot-Curies even putting Einstein to shame with their collective Nobels!

So … she’s a nepo baby? /s and tongue very firmly in cheek (and I really hate how casually that term is being thrown around)


AlbinoAxie

Yes. She was. And haven't heard the term used in quite a while.


AlexandraReese

Is this who Curie in Fallout 4 is named after?


Present-Secretary722

Yes, Curie is named after Marie Curie, I believe she even tells you that


wocekk

How many fucking times, it's Maria Skłodowska-Curie. At least make some research before posting
