This inaugural episode of It's Time You Knew launches during Women’s History Month and honors Madame Curie  – the first woman to win a Nobel prize, and the only woman to win twice in 2 different fields: chemistry and physics.  Her work with radioactive substances and their medical applications made her famous and sadly led to her demise from radiation damage to the bone marrow.
