More than a century after Marie Curie worked in a converted shed handling radioactive elements with bare hands, her life continues to pose a quiet but demanding question to each generation: what are we willing to sacrifice in pursuit of the thing we were made to do? Born in occupied Poland in 1867 and later the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines, Curie did not merely advance physics and chemistry — she expanded the boundaries of what human purpose, disciplined and courageously pursued, can achieve. Her enduring reflection that each of us is gifted for somet
