.. Marie Curie's experimental notebook ~ which after almost a hundred years, is still radioactive. Her notes and books can only be handled safely using radiation gear and are stored in lead lined boxes.

Isn't she LII?

[Jarno]

my guess would be ILE-Ne, just a hunch.

LII/ILI

[Adam Strange]

She VI’s like some LII’s and an ESE whom I know. (Duals can look like each other.)

I assume she was LII, but I’m not that good at recognizing Alphas.

ILI

[The Reality Denialist]

Her methodological strictness sounds very ILI'ish. Notes after notes.

[msl]

I also think that Maria Sklodowska-Curie is ILI

"Sometimes it seems to me that child labor in today's schools is so excessive that it is better to drown children than to teach in these schools"

Anti-LII quote: "There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth."

During World War I, Marie Curie addressed herself as a radiologist treating wounded soldiers. She carried out an X-ray truck, which made it possible to undertake radiological examinations in the immediate vicinity of the front lines, and participated in the training of the necessary technicians and nurses. After the war she was involved in the International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations for better working conditions for scientists. At the Radium Institute in Paris, which she headed, she campaigned for the promotion of female and foreign students. In 1883, at the age of 15, Maria passed her Abitur at the top of her class. She spent the following year with relatives in the country as she showed signs of exhaustion. In the winter of 1891/1892 she acted in an anti-Russian play staged by Poles in exile, which greatly annoyed her father. Marie Curie's role in radium research has been at times underestimated or exaggerated, and her Polish origins tended to be overlooked. The Curies felt more and more harassed by the reporters' intrusion into their privacy. From 1922 to 1934 she was Vice President of the International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation at the League of Nations.

quotes by her that I find interesting

“Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit.”

Promptly after the war started, she attempted to donate her gold Nobel Prize medals to the war effort but the French National Bank refused to accept them.She did buy war bonds, using her Nobel Prize money. She said:
I am going to give up the little gold I possess. I shall add to this the scientific medals, which are quite useless to me. There is something else: by sheer laziness I had allowed the money for my second Nobel Prize to remain in Stockholm in Swedish crowns.

She was known for her honesty and moderate lifestyle^. Having received a small scholarship in 1893, she returned it in 1897 as soon as she began earning her keep.She gave much of her first Nobel Prize money to friends, family, students, and research associates. In an unusual decision, Curie intentionally refrained from patenting the radium-isolation process so that the scientific community could do research unhindered. She insisted that monetary gifts and awards be given to the scientific institutions she was affiliated with rather than to her.She and her husband often refused awards and medals.Albert Einstein reportedly remarked that she was probably the only person who could not be corrupted by fame.


IEI>ILI in my opinion
