Who is a expert on your field that you admire?

 The expert I admire in the area I study is Marie Curie. She was born in Varsovia in November 7, 1867. She was a French nationalized Polish scientist Pioneer in the field of radioactivity. In her doctoral tesis, she specifically studied the so-called “Becquerel rays” (radiation of an unknown nature, emitted spontaneously by some metals such as uranium). This investigation led to the Discovery o fan unknown metal, wich her decided to call “polonium” based on the name of Marie’s country of origin.

 The Discovery of radius soon had important consequences, both in practical medicine and in theoretical physics. What we today call “radiotherapy”, that is, the application of radioactivity to the sick human body, by means of the radio element, allows the fight against certain malignant tumors (“destructive radiotherapy”) and also inflammatory or degenerative type alterations, especially on the skin, some internal organs and joints (“functional radiation therapy”).

 I admire her because she was the first person to receive two Nobel prizes in different specialties (Physics and Chemistry) and the first woman to hold the position of the professor at the University of Paris.

 She was also one of the few women to receive a Nobel Prize in science by herself and not accompanied by a man.
