ashley me

jr I have found your your article

about the symmetry of the crystals and that

I burned you gave me if you know how

foresee looking for papers to

Prepare the trip to the United States

that med and bad girl is not even

completely crazy

you know what he says he can consume

get me a whole gram of radio

you imagine what we could discover

with so much radio but for that I have

to go to the United States

well that girl is truly rock

he was chasing for I do not know how much

time until he finally got that

I gave him an interview and now he’s good

Well, he wants to take me to America but

this article this skin article is the

better that they have done to me in all my life and

now it ‘s good that what what what

has this good article a series of

unintelligible reasoning for the

most of the people for me too

then today I confess that but

it meant a lot

Lotu me first because he sensed that

I could understand which filled me with

pride and second because when I give it to me

I knew it was already in your heart

this article pierre meant the end of

so many sorrows the shields

key

we were a happy family however I

I have the first memories of me

childhood are sad for the

humiliations that I suffered at the hands of

those directors those Russian inspectors

who came to our school and I

she was always in charge of answering them

in Russian of course and they

They insisted that I recite the

borders of his empire is the empire

that contained part of my battered country

my beloved poland so it’s not weird that

when he died Tsar Alexander second I

will jump and dance and sing for joy

with my friend are already the director of

our school those wars of the

Russians it’s not me and I did not reprimand

hard and he told us that things like that

they could have consequences

nefarious

even for us and what if

they had first for my father the

director of the high school became a janitor and

they finally kicked him out then we had

that accept internal students and good

our house was so small that my

Elena Elena and I had to sleep

in the dining room we sleep the last

and we do not raise the first ones so that

everyone could have breakfast

well that was little uncomfortable sometimes

too uncomfortable but good tolerable

the worst was that one of those tenants

from one of those guests brought typhus

they infected my sister Sofia and she

died and then youtube to see my mother

how it was consuming of grief during

One year he did not have the strength to fight

against that tuberculosis that contracted

shortly after I was born he died so

only a year later I had only 10

years

with her my joy and my faith in her

god but as always I recovered

working a lot more

I was the number was a gold medal in the

institute then I dreamed of going to the

college

I wanted to do physics like my father

but he so demanding always told me no

there is no rush there is time there is time and

he sent me to visit my relatives in

galicia and from there I went to see other uncles

and from there to other uncles

good in the end it was a wonderful year

I remember after so much grief

I remember the holidays the typical costumes

the dances the mazurcas the polkas

the rides on the sledges

In the light of the moon it was a delicious year

not only did I not study for the first time in my

life says that with something more than three years

I learned to read but I even forgot

to read me one year schiller

but well the year ended we went back to

warsaw and I had to face the

reality

I already knew that women in the

Russian empire could not go to the

college

however I did not know is what my

father told us he could not pay us open

and my sister Bologna and I study

in a foreign city

but good as you know pierre I have not

rendered never

so I decided that I had a plan

a pact with bologna

first I would work to pay him his

medical studies in sorbona and

then she would work and I would pay them

it seemed easy to me

we did that but it was much harder than

what we had imagined the classes

private in varsovia

they barely left money then I took a

drastic decision that gave me a bit of

scared but hey it was not as hard as

I had thought I went to work as

governess ins internal to the field to a

farm in which my fears were gone

soon because the family that I went to

it was a lovely family children

they were very well educated studied were

obedient and they treat me almost like

a daughter

well it’s more they allowed me to do crazy things

how to teach the children of the

peasants or work in the factory

beet those things were dangerous

because the Russians did not want the

peasants nor that the peasants were

instructed or that the Poles had

technical knowledge

but everything changed when the

Christmas and came home almost month

he was studying at university

of Warsaw with him I discovered beauty

of mathematics but I discovered a lot

more with him I discovered love everything was

perfect until we told him his

family also yours something and I was happy

to see me full of joy and of

happiness and faith in the future

the reaction of yours was very different

they objected frontally

well it was a thing expected even

logic

the firstborn of a few

landowners could not marry the

governess I deluded myself I do not know

something similar had happened to me but what

hard the truly cruel was that

Almost every other day I almost did not

he moved a finger to defend me

my instinct first my initial reaction

was to run away from there get away from

him but he could not because bologna

I was studying I could not interrupt

his studies at the university of

sorbona

I was not able to

get away from almost me was so

in love

then I continued working for three years

were three years of lead because the

parents of almost honey made promise

that I would not talk to him despite what

which he was trying to get us to

hidden thing to which I refused

he could not betray the

word that I had given to his parents

that were my bosses

that seemed to have no end but

finally broni to wrote me from

Paris had finished his studies had

got a Polish husband in the in the

faculty had opened a query and

He was able to fulfill his

part of the covenant

he called me to go to study

Physics to Sorbonne University

but I was already tired sad

I felt older to start e in a country

different

I was 23 years old and well I already thought

dedicate myself to take care of my father to my

nephews when I was then in

warsaw

I started that fantastic project of the

flying university was an organization

clandestine of course where women and

men we taught and received classes

of all the matters

that gave me back a little joy

also getting away from cashemere gave me

forces to pose an ultimatum

during that ultimatum I thought that

would react but it was not then his

negative gave me the final impulse that

I needed to go to Paris to the

University of Sorbonne Mission

sleep so many times postponed embark

on a trip that lasted almost four days in

a train where I was not only

food luggage but also a chair

to sit on a mattress to sleep

blankets to wrap me up and when I got

to the eastern station

I found that he was waiting for me

another almost me and I thought that what

had left there already forgotten because no

I was almost my sister’s husband

glory I installed in his house a

maremágnum of revolutionary patients

Polish rebels

well there you could not work at a

little time very soon

I decided to leave, they told me that as many

other times I was crazy I did not have

money to live alone

they were right I could not buy I could not

buy coal

I had to go to an attic in the

Latin neighborhood that is very close to the

university but on a sixth floor without

no heating just had blankets

I barely had money to go shopping

food and I even fainted from hunger but

good in that little house going hungry and

cold

I was immensely happy because finally

I owned my life and could dedicate myself to

do what I loved to study and

well study so much that I got the

number one of my promotion in physics and

shortly after the number two of

mathematics

that was a stain on my file that

until then I only had first place

but well my notes apparently were not

so bad because I got a one scholarship

alexandrovich russian was about to

reject the Russian mule but

I finally decided that I would allow myself

keep investigating keep studying

in particular the magnetic properties

of the steels and with the magnetism arrives

to you

pierre and so much we brought that

we never parted again wanted us to

let’s get married but I said no no no

First you have to submit your thesis

doctoral and you said that’s nonsense

the important thing is to make a

good job good research and

I knew that yours was

excellent but without meeting the

requirements of the academy never ever

would be recognized as a great scientist

So, submit your thesis and

then yes we get married remember those

that trip by lille of fans with the

bicycle in our honeymoon

then my idyll began with that

wonderful contraption that even today

continues he continues riding a bicycle

as it was many years ago when

we begin our our life together

Irene was born and I decided that I did not want

follow its wake of the magnetism of the

symmetry of the crystals

I was very curious about

understand newly discovered rays

rays that nobody understood from where

they left because they left

discovered on the river the great

scientist the fourth generation in his

family that investigated about that guy

of phenomena

but they were so incomprehensible that the

abandonment

so I decided to try

where he had failed and so

convincing I was that I managed to tear you

to you from your magnetism in which it was a

world specialty and your crystals

symmetrical and take you to the new field of

those mysterious rays to which I

I started by naming radioactivity and

well we discovered radio and polonium

I submitted my doctoral thesis and they gave us

the Nobel prize a was crazy with the

prize came the infinite voracity of

the journalists always wanted to make us

interview but also with him came a

chair for you

finally in the Sorbonne and for me a

salary as a scientist after so many

hours working with substances

radioactive

then eva was born everything seemed perfect

but then you pierre left me

the world sank pierre I wanted that

the earth will stop spinning

I hated your daughters who had your eyes

when you were not there but I followed

working you replaced giving class

you can not imagine the circus that was

the first day that I taught in the

same place where you had given up

the day of your death you can not imagine

how many journalists how many photographers

how many curious 4 lady with those

huge hats

well there were so many of those people that

the students the students what

they had to be in that classroom they did not have

site

the next day he had to repeat my

injury just for them but the

scientists your colleagues did not give me

dead truce they wanted to tear

all our work by kelvin el gral

Lord Kelvin is the kelvin smell that crossed

the channel of the spot only to attend

to your funeral when I already had more than 80

years said the radio did not exist because

we had not managed to isolate the pure

after the tons of pet blenda

that I worked to study it and then

those those Germans said they had

discovered an element that was our

Polonius wrote in German

just to deny it so that no

German scientist had doubt about his

fraud that they were lying

denying Lord Kelvin took me a lot

more time

It took me years to work again with

tons of pet blenda to get

Isolate the pure radius when the

I was already dead

and well then I discovered portland

they carry he was and had always been

I do not know since when you adore you remind me

when you were teaching him in the

school in the industrial school of

physics and chemistry

you commented on the brilliance of his

reasoning your stimulus curiosity

when in your family in your environment

nothing or nobody encouraged him to be interested

for science

Well, Paul got older and got married

with the wrong woman and both were

unhappy so much that he had to leave

your house

Paul made me come alive and his wife wanted

kill me but not only she Jewish

robamaridos murcia polish foreigner

they called me all journalists

they roused the crowds that surrounded

our house stoned the crystals of

the Windows

the girls were terrified we had

to flee at night and take refuge

at home of them for him

there is a thousand borel the almighty director

of which no formal were about

to kick him for giving me shelter and I

I lose I had to flee if I ran away from

France was a coward I could not face

to them but before I went to stockholm to

collect the prize the second prize that

they gave me for having discovered the radio

and polonium

they also wanted to remove me

the time and the war came the great

war and I decided to help France to my

country of adoption to your country to that of your

daughters that country that had treated me so

cruelly as and not science with the with

radioactivity but with the rays

x build portable devices

I learned to handle I also learned

drive if I lose

I drove and I went to the front

well before I had to win two battles

very hard

first against the French generals

that he did not want women on their foreheads

then against the French surgeons who

I did not want women in their operating rooms but

He knows that I am a bit stubborn and I

I knew that those devices will be

essential to find the bullets

in patients

between the girls and me we made more than one

million radiographs saved

innumerable lives of those boys that

today they are men

we can be very very proud

it good then your daughters and me

they convinced us to go to the

United States

Well, if she goes, she came with me

front he could not convince her of

let it be in a place

sure and she was also a great

science is about now

present a doctoral thesis on

polonio eva however says no

he wants to know nothing about science but it ‘s a

magnificent pianist and a writer

exceptional lands tasks so proud

of both of the two

Well, they have convinced me

that we had to go make that trip to

America

I said yes but with the condition of

that they came with me

they enjoyed it I suffered it nothing

more to get one of my fans

He shook my hand with such force that almost

I broke it I was with him with this hand

bandaged the whole trip

I still have pain but good in

Miss Manoli Nalon and fulfilled her

promise

American women got

raise the money needed to

buy us a gram of a gram of radio

mvs radio that is already here today is radio

that will allow us to continue working is

the radio that the president of

the united states in a ceremony

solemn but now it turns out that some

of those American women says that you have

a slightly strange feeling about

me something they call as a complex of

inferiority that feel like

overwhelmed by my career so I

they say I am something like an idol

unattainable and the place to encourage them to

pursue your dreams

some says then that I know what it is like

come back and well I do not understand

it’s a foolish truth pierre

because after all I did not do either

nothing so special

just live

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

has not missed a small detail that

a voiceover

remember that marie curie is the

scientist most admired universally

known that has served as inspiration to

many women in the five in the

five scientific continents or not and what

good because thanks to her it has been that

marie curie complex that was talked about

after his trip to the United States he has not

fulfilled and has been a very influential

very beneficial

many thanks

[Applause]
