Episode 212 The Radiant Life and Science of Marie Curie

Well this episode is loaded up with so much history and excitement, we just can't wait to share it!  We discuss the life of Marie Slobodowska Curie aka Marie Curie or Madame Curie.  But we also stop off in Arthur's corner to discuss differences between moths and butterflies (for example did you know butterflies rest with their wings closed while moths rest with them open) and then goes on to discuss the Rosy Maple Moth, which apparently is not as delicious as it sounds.  However it is impressive and beautiful  We cover Curie's family life, her husband, her 'scandal' and her strength.  Listen to how this woman that Albert Einstein once described as the only person he ever met to be immune to the effects of fame, made her way in the xenophobic France of the 1900's and be surprised at how she spent World War I in another girl power history episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
