description: "The only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences — physics, then chemistry. She named radioactivity, built the field from scratch, and was ultimately killed by it: the notebooks she wrote in are still too radioactive to handle without lead-lined gloves."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw in 1867, she left a partitioned Poland — where universities were closed to women — for Paris, studying physics while half-starving in a garret. With her husband Pierre she isolated polonium and radium from tons of raw ore, sharing the 1903 Nobel in Physics; after Pierre's death she won a second, in Chemistry, in 1911, alone. She built mobile X-ray units for the battlefields of the First World War, then ran the Radium Institute that trained a generation of scientists. The radiation she handled with bare hands for decades destroyed her health, and she died in 1934 — having opened the door to both cancer treatment and the atomic age, without ever quite closing it behind her.
