Radioactivity completely altered the whole of the rest of science. The idea that an atom can be broken into little bits was absolutely new … That whole field of atomic physics, of nuclear physics, just hadn't been invented.

Introduction

In the UK, most people associate Marie Curie with the end-of-life charity of the same name, but this is very misleading.

The Marie Curie charity did not actually exist during Maria Skłodowska-Curie's lifetime; it evolved out of a London hospital named after the scientist.

Maria Skłodowska-Curie should be remembered for her pioneering work on radioactivity, which she discovered, leading to breakthroughs in numerous other scientific fields.

History Hit's Patented podcast explores the history of inventions and innovations.

On this August 2023 episode, science historian and University of Cambridge lecturer Patricia Fara meets host Dallas Campbell to discuss the extraordinary scientist Maria Skłodowska-Curie.
