In dieser Woche feiern wir gleich 2 Geburtstage von denkwürdigen Wissenschaftlerinnen. Beide wurden an einem 7. November geboren. Die erste ist Marie Curie: Dieses Jahr wäre sie 158 Jahre alt geworden.
Sie führte den Begriff #radioaktiv ein und entdeckte die Elemente #Polonium und #Radium. Zudem stellte sie die Hypothese auf, dass #Radioaktivität eine feste Eigenschaft bestimmter Elemente ist.
Für ihre Arbeiten erhielt sie 1903 den Nobelpreis für Physik und 1911 den Nobelpreis für Chemie.
Sweet! My LEGO tiles of Radium-226 just came in, and they glow in the dark just perfectly ♥️ :
A century ago, a new wellness trend captivated people around the world. Just a small dose of newly discovered supplement could cure almost anything — from gout to headaches to “lack of bodily vigor.”
People paid through the nose to get their hands on the stuff; unfortunately, it melted away much of the rest of their face. The new magic cure was radioactive, and eventually killed or disabled many of its adherents.

P.S.: Thanx to #RADIUM ;)

Half Lives The Unlikely History of Radium by Lucy Jane Santos, 2020
'In Half Lives, Lucy Santos transports us back to a time when consumers wondered whether mixing radium into chicken feed might result in eggs that could hard-boil themselves; when diners cheerfully drank radioactive cocktails that glowed in the dark; and when people used toothpaste containing lethal thorium oxide in the pursuit of healthy gums.

Radium and the Secret of Life by Luis A. Campos, 2015
Before the hydrogen bomb indelibly associated radioactivity with death, many chemists, physicians, botanists, and geneticists believed that radium might hold the secret to life.
These two women were truly amazing! But there are so many other women in physics to discover that we do not remember, since they were written out of HIStory.
We just celebrated the year of quantum physics. And yes, in the introduction, of course everybody teaches Planck’s law.
But check out the new book „Women in the history quantum physics - beyond Knabenphysik“ (Cambridge University Press)
There are many women and their contributions to discover.
Not to forget that Lise helped define the auger-meitner electron emission as well! 🤗
