Marie Curie

Marie Curie


What scientific elements did I help to discover?

They call me Madame Curie
But I'm Polish you see
Born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867
My father was a teacher who introduced me to science
Off to Paris I went to attend the Sorbonne and pursue my alliance
A physicist and chemist who isolated the elements of polium and radium
Pierre Curie, my husband and partner in our life's work, helped me build a stadium
It was the Curie Institute in Paris and Warsaw
That forged the path for the development of radioactivity in medicine
My life was involved with much scientific study, teaching and discovery
This  gained me worldwide recognition as a Nobel Prize recipient
My personal dedication and determination helped me achieve and accomplish much
My life can be defined by science but I really excelled by including the personal touch
My love of nature and exploration of life
As you can see
My death was not the end of me
