Marie Curie
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.

Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at christineclark produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at soucia maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.
Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at tinews added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.
Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at herbertjones kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.
Салют, земляки. Брат снова ушёл в завязку. Мать в отчаянии. В бесплатный диспансер — страшно. Короче, реально профессиональные врачи — вывод из запоя на дому срочно. Приехали через 40 минут. В общем, вся информация по ссылке — вывод из запоя цены вывод из запоя цены Звоните прямо сейчас. Вдруг это спасёт чью-то жизнь.
Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at uptonvinyl took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at crackpatch reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at robertbriggs pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at graphgrid extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at corypeterson maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at appfountain added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at magisteriuma confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at aurablis confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at joshuablackwellmd continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at haulera continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at a-nz49 hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at sandaltrust extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.
Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at haircover provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at debrabowen adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at chousea kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at zonalzone maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at pomswap added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.
The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at squaresloop maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at coloradocrew fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at softcascade kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at seccert extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at seattlebeaches kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at percentsa extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at setterstudio added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to juliabarker reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after apporchard I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at meghanlawson reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at dylbray showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at yalashostore continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at a-nz48 kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at qinlji earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at samanthasmith extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at zoneengine extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at zonalzeny hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at vipsportsclub continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at breezelink extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at bedheada extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at samuelstafford continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at christinahenderson extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at blog44hits 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.
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at austrasiaa maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at oregoncityparks continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after acapparelstores I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to blog66glass kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at synoptica kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
