#Marie #Curie series continues #MarieCurie

-First woman to get a PhD in a French University

- First woman to become a Professor in Univ. of Paris

- First Woman to win two Nobel Prizes in the field of Chemistry & Physics

-First woman, and only two time Nobel laureate to be part of a family winning three Nobel Prizes

-Only mother Nobel Laureate to have a daughter, Irene, winning a Nobel Prize

-All these are for genuine contributions (Most important one)

-The research that fetched her, and her husband, Pierre Curie, Nobel prize was done in a shed of their own, and neither the government nor the University funded their work

- For that matter, she was left out from the first Nobel Prize list that included her mentor, Becquerel, & her husband, Pierre Curie. If not for a Mathematics Professor named Gösta Mittage-Leffler, who wrote a letter to Pierre Curie in this regard, along with the support of her husband and her mentor, she would not have been awarded the first Nobel Prize.

- Marie Curie died on July 4th, 1934 (US Independence Day) at the age of 67

- "Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one who fame has not corrupted" - Words of Albert Einstein after her death

Disney Heiress against tax cuts that gave $12 billion in tax savings to big banks.

Disney Heiress against tax cuts that gave $12 billion in tax savings to big banks. Disney Heiress speech is a strong statement against these tax cuts. This policy rewarding the banks, and the bank executives for their poor and high risk-taking behavior, along with the repeated favorable treatment for the top 1% of the wealthiest should not be an ongoing saga, if we, the people, are collectively concerned about addressing issues such as, health care needs for an ageing population, energy and resources demand, global climate change, increasing population density, and other interrelated issues in the 21st century. For that matter, these big banks are just intermediary units to Central banks. It is high time that Central banks around the world start considering a way to connect directly to the citizens rather than having intermediary middle body in the form of big banks. This action would save trillions of dollars around the globe. https://youtu.be/WH1NihRN5cU
