The Female Achiever and Scientist: Marie Curie

-



           When the world scientist comes up, names like Albert Einstein will come to our mind. Yes, this name belongs to a dead scientist, believed to be one of the most intelligent men to have ever lived. He is the brain behind the formula E=mc(square). This post is not about Einstein, this post is about Marie Curie, the best female scientist ever.
            Marie Curie was born a Russian in the present day country, Poland. That time, Poland was being governed and ruled by Russia. Her father was a teacher, and it was her father who introduced her to the science line by teaching her some basic things about scientific research. She focused on the fields of Physics and Chemistry, and she won the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry. She is known for radioactivity, polonium and radium.
            She married a fellow scientist, and they won Nobel Prize together before his death. She discovered a radioactive element. They had two children who were girls. One of their children became a scientist who also won the Nobel Prize. Marie Curie won so many other awards. She was highly respected across the globe, in fact, she once visited the president of America in the white house.
            She worked extensively during the WWI. She innovated new ways of treatment, and some scholars argue that she also contributed to the field of medicine. She was a nationalist; she believed so much in her country, and did all she had to do for her country.
            She died a fulfilled woman, but she was killed by her achievement—radioactivity.

Biography of Poet J. P. Clark is a Nigerian poet from the Ijaw tribe. He studied at the University of Ibadan; it is from Ibadan that he got to write a poem about Ibadan, and it is from here that he developed as a poet. Analysis of the Poem This is a poem about the city, Ibadan. This Ibadan is in South West, Nigeria. It is in the state of Oyo. It is an ancient city that had been in existence even before the coming of the British. As the city is old, the houses of the city are dirty and the roofs are rusted. This is also an unplanned city. The persona begins by describing Ibadan as running splash of rust: that is, Ibadan is filled with rust; rust here symbolizes old and ancient. The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city. Then, the seven hills are the seven hills that surround the city. “Like Broken China in the Sun” represents the disorderliness and the scattered plan of the city. ...

There is an argument about entrepreneurs and businessmen that has often elicited arguments among intellectuals, economists, politicians and even business men.
