Marie Skłodowska-Curie Monument: A Tribute to Science and Love - This title pays homage to the monument dedicated to Marie Skłodowska-Curie in Warsaw, which celebrates her remarkable scientific achievements and symbolizes her extraordinary personal journey. Marie Curie was a brilliant scientist and a woman with a rich and complex personal life.

Her marriage to Pierre Curie was a scientific partnership and a profound love story. Together, they made groundbreaking discoveries, including radium and polonium, which earned them the Nobel Prize. The couple had two daughters, Irene and Eva, and Irene followed in her parents' footsteps by also winning a Nobel Prize in chemistry.

Marie's life after Pierre's death was marked by rumours of romantic involvement with scientist Paul Langevin, causing a scandal in society at the time. Despite the challenges, Marie Curie continued her scientific pursuits, remaining dedicated to her passion for science until the end of her life.

The Warsaw monument is a powerful reminder of a woman who triumphed over numerous obstacles in her personal and professional life, inspiring countless individuals with her resilience, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to the world of science.

This marks the conclusion of our city walk.
