2011: Año Internacional de la Química declarado por la ONU y gestionado por la UNESCO y la IUPAC.

El motivo: la concesión del Premio Nobel de Química a Marie Curie. Su segundo Premio Nobel, tras el primero en Física en 1903. En principio, la Academia Sueca sólo había propuesto a Pierre Curie y a Henri Becquerel para el premio. Pero Pierre se negó a aceptarlo si no se reconocía el trabajo de su esposa Marie. El primer Premio Nobel fue por las investigaciones en radioactividad y el segundo por el aislamiento y caracterización del radio y polonio, dos elementos químicos radioactivos.

Por muchas razones (inteligencia, tenacidad, esfuerzo, se pionera en muchas cosas, ….) Marie Curie es una de las figuras más relevantes de la historia de la ciencia. En este año se ha escrito mucho sobre ella. Yo recomiendo que se lea la biografía que su hija (y albacea), Eva Curie, escribió. El título, sencillo, Madame Curie. El libro se puede puede encontrar en INTERNET ARCHIVE.

Miguel Carreras (Ciencia Viva) acaba de publicar un excelente artículo sobre Marie Curie en el suplemento IDEAR del PERIÓDICO DE ARAGÓN. Aparte de algunos hechos de la vida y obra de Marie Curie, el autor hace unos breves comentarios sobre las películas sobre la gran científica; que aunque no sean obras maestras del cine, pueden servir para recordar algunos pasaje de la vida de Marie Curie.

Hace un par de semanas, me invitaron al acto de graduación de bachillerato del IES Antonio Gaudí (Coslada, Madrid). Entre los diversas temas que traté que pudieran estimular a los jóvenes, hice un breve resumen de los hitos científicos y personales de la vida de Marie Curie. Entre estos últimos, destaqué la modestia personal, la labor humanitaria, su lucha por el bienestar de la humanidad; actitudes que transmitió a sus hijas. La copia de las diapositivas se pueden descargar aquí.

  1. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at strategymap extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  2. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at strongconnectionalliance continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  3. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at primecapitalbond continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  4. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at ideasflowintoaction confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  5. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at forwardmotionengine extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  6. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at progressneedsfocus rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  7. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at bondedtrustpath reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  8. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at focusleadsdirection earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  9. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at progressmovespurposefully continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  10. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at focusanchorsmovement continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  11. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to focusmapping I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  12. Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at globalunitygroup extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  13. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at bondedprinciples maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  14. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at forwardmotionactivatednow got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  15. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at forwardmotionstructure the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  16. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at ideaconversion pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  17. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at focuspowersprogress only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  18. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at unitedsuccesscircle extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  19. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at claritysystem carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  20. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at actionorchestration confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  21. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at clarityexecution held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  22. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at growthtrustcircle continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  23. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at longviewalliance maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  24. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at directionactivatesmotion would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  25. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at growthvector maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  26. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at solidbondgroup added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  27. Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at claritycompanion reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  28. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at ideasunlockmotion held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  29. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at actiondrivesmomentum reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  30. Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at nextstepnavigator extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.

  31. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at ideasdrivevelocity maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  32. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at heritagecapitalbond pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  33. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to ideasunlockgrowth maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  34. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at strategyplanner continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  35. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at progressmomentum extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  36. Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at clarityanchorsmotion extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.

  37. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at signaldrivesclarity continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  38. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at strategicalliancelink confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  39. Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at progressmovesintelligently extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

  40. Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at momentumbuildsforward reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.

  41. Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month, and a stop at progressmoveswithsignal extended that ranking, the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.

  42. Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at forwardmomentumhub kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.

  43. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at forwardprogression earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  44. Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to actionmapping maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.

  45. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at bondedpathway confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

  46. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at strongbusinessalliance extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.

  47. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at globalpartnerbond extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  48. Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at foundationalliancebond similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

  49. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at forwardmotionclarity only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
