"You are positively glowing tonight".



Too soon?

Seriously Marie Curie is no longer alone as history is beginning to laud the other female geniuses so we know their names.

“Lack of support can stunt prospects for potential geniuses; they never get the chance to be productive,” Kalb writes in her article. “Throughout history women have been denied formal education, deterred from advancing professionally, and under-recognized for their achievements.”

A woman of particular interest to Kalb was Mozart’s older sister, Maria Anna “Nannerl” Mozart. A brilliant harpsichordist, she performed alongside her brother as a child until she reached the marriageable age of 18. Her father, who wanted her to settle down, ended her career.

Not that there haven’t been female geniuses in history or living today. There are names we hear often, such as Hypatia, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie, Mary Shelley, and Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Hopper, who have all made it into our history books.

There have also been many female geniuses whose history-making work didn’t come to light until much later, such as Rosalind Franklin’s discoveries regarding the structure of DNA, or the incredible African-American women of NASA, Dr. Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, and Mary Jackson, whose contributions to the Space Program in the 1960s (and beyond) were finally brought into the spotlight in the book, and subsequent film, Hidden Figures. It’s not that female genius isn’t there. It may just come down to recognition.

You’re bad.

It's true. And it's not just Curie's manuscripts that are too dangerous to touch, either. If you visit the Pierre and Marie Curie collection at the Bibliotheque Nationale in France, many of her personal possessions—from her furniture to her cookbooks—require protective clothing to be safely handled. You'll also have to sign a liability waiver, just in case.

You want deadly?

Check out the Bible.

inadvertently, as it kind of flew under the radar, but it will be available for streaming on Amazon on July 24th. It stars the British Rosamund Pike as Marie Curie.

Here is one of the trailers...

the National Institutes for Health brought him in for a special study. I will never forget how awful the days of his treatment and how wonderful the people at this incredible place were in helping us through.
He has survived, the initial treatment worked, but there are some complications we are working through.
He's Deaf, his stepdad is a
trumper.
He just doesn't understand that one of Trump's first priorities was to cut NIH funding.
Aaaaaghhh.

I've watched and read several things about Einstein in the past and about Marie Curie and knew that they had been friends.

From what I've seen/read, Prof. Einstein, to have been so compassionate with others, was not at all fair to his first wife.
