(Madame Curie) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes —in physics and chemistry. She was the first female professor at the University of Paris, and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed to rest alongside Victor Hugo and other great figures under the famous dome of the Pantheon in Paris for her own merits.
