[55], In 1912 the Warsaw Scientific Society offered her the directorship of a new laboratory in Warsaw but she declined, focusing on the developing Radium Institute to be completed in August 1914, and on a new street named Rue Pierre-Curie. [65] In 1930 she was elected to the International Atomic Weights Committee, on which she served until her death. [68] Eventually it became one of the world's four major radioactivity-research laboratories, the others being the Cavendish Laboratory, with Ernest Rutherford; the Institute for Radium Research, Vienna, with Stefan Meyer; and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, with Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner. Then in 1911, she won a Nobel Prize in chemistry. [119] Curie received 25.1 percent of all votes cast, nearly twice as many as second-place Rosalind Franklin (14.2 per cent).

[61] In fact, when Curie's body was exhumed in 1995, the French Office de Protection contre les Rayonnements Ionisants (ORPI) "concluded that she could not have been exposed to lethal levels of radium while she was alive". At home she talked about science continuously and she thought it was an easy job, so she let herself be carried away by that impulse and by the feeling of being happy through her profession, because at home she was never told that science was for have public recognition, but rather a feeling of play, of enjoying. Hlne finished her high school studies with very good grades. In 1891, she went to Paris to study physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne where she met Pierre Curie,.

Winner of two Nobel Prizes (for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911), she performed pioneering studies with radium and contributed profoundly to the understanding of radioactivity. Mrs. William Brown Meloney, after interviewing Curie, created a Marie Curie Radium Fund and raised money to buy radium, publicising her trip.
