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.

Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at wickedradio closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at dylanbell 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.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at joshuayoder prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at edwardmyers added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at devfusion extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at blog44fast maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at eastwoodcenter continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at heidiharrington 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.
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at puntersa added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at robertbernard extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at sagestack would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at eatworld 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.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at zonecore continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at grovegrid kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at miltonanglican prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at sportsaving held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at forgeflow kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at voidverse reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at asymmetriesa only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through susanallen only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at appvineyard maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at balinesea continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at carsicka held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at canvasgraffiti 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.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at bulbula extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at andreastewart reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at develite suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at sagepixel kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at knavea suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at badmoutha 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.
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at matrixmode reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at dataoasis reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at clementecenter continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at nanothailand continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at myriadcloud kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at teezambia continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at zeeboutique continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at blog66full did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at bradleyhart confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at argonapp maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at starfleeta kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at magnamode did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at wendysilva extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at ordersimple kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
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 courtneyward 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.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at domaweb extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at a-nz47 extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.
Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at earsurgeon continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at xylowise reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at resellinga 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.
