Wow, I loved your video! The colours were very easy on the eyes and made it very pleasant to watch! I also really enjoyed how you bolded certain words to make what you are trying to communicate to the audience easily understood and helped personally helped me keep engaged in the video! A question I have is how do you feel about the increase of female scientists in the 21st century? Another question I have for you is did you eventually find out that taking x-rays in abundance was bad for a person’s health, or did someone else discover this? If yes, who?
Thanks,
Dylan
Hi Dylan, thanks for the feedback.
For your first question, I think Marie would love and take pride in seeing this rise in woman scientists. I believe that she’d see herself in many of these women, because they’re all breaking boundaries in spite of the struggles that they face.
As for your question about the x-rays, it’s likely that Marie didn’t even know much about the dangers of radium throughout her career. The first discoveries about the dangers of radium were made toward the end of her life, mostly by other people (for example, the ordeal with the Radium Girls created awareness), so it was probably these discoveries that brought attention to the dangers of x-rays since they used radium in them. Of course, x-rays have become more developed, and safer, over the years.
Hi Saihaj! Your video, your quiz, and your infographic about your interview were all done so well! I loved the video and how you put lots of pictures and made it quick and easy to read/watch. I also really liked your message/call to action at the end about how Marie is proof that anything is possible. My question for you is if Marie Curie had an interest in science since she was a child; if so, how or why was she exposed to science as a girl and why would she take an interest in it?

Thanks for the feedback Anita.
When she was young, Marie had lots of support from her parents, who were teachers, and they believed that she should work to her fullest potential. She was bright as a child and they taught her to read and write quite early. I believe that they were a large part of her development into the intelligent woman she became, and it was because of their support and what they taught her that she grew up and became interested in science. It was a little bit later in life that she began reading up about physics and chemistry.
That’s really cool, thanks for the interesting info!
I thought that the video you made was really well put together. The idea of having the attendees take a quiz at the end was also a pretty nice decision as well. What I’m wondering is how Marie Curie would react to the use of nuclear science since her death, specifically things like the atomics bombs and nuclear power.
Hi Pavel,
I don’t think she’d be thrilled about the development of nuclear weapons, since much of her career was focused on helping others. I do believe she’d be glad that her research contributed to the development of nuclear medicine and using nuclear power as a clean energy source.
Hi,
Who do you think could be thought of as a modern-day Marie Curie?
Mrs. Chambers
Hi Mrs. Chambers,
There’s a young woman named Sabrina Gonzalez, a physicist, who is considered “the next Einstein” by many people. I feel that someone like her, who is discovering and breaking the glass ceiling, is similar to Marie Curie. Of course, there are many other female scientists today that are doing this as well. Sabrina Gonzalez is just one of them.
Hey Saihaj! Well done with your learning centre! This video was especially powerful!
I wonder what you think would be the most interesting scientific achievement of modern times for Marie (assuming she was alive today)? What might she say about the issues some women still face in the fields of STE(A)M?
Hi Ms. Wasstrom, thanks for the feedback.
I think Marie would be very interested in the development of nuclear power and nuclear medicine, since her discoveries were one of the first steps in making these developments. I think she’d also be interested in what we’ve done so far in cancer research.
In terms of the issues women in STE(A)M face, I believe she’d be proud of how far we’ve come since she began her career. Of course, there are lots of problems that still need to be solved, and one of her quotes states “be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.” I think she’d encourage this idea that in the end, we’re all people, and all of our ideas should be valued.
Hi there,
I really liked the music in the background of the video. I also found the applications of her discoveries fascinating, but more specifically, how she was able to save a million lives in war due to her discoveries. What attracted her into studying what she did?
Cheers,
Tyler
Hi Tyler,
I’m actually not sure what brought her into the field that she went into. I know that her parents, who supported her academically and taught her important skills from a young age, gave her a small push so that she could become the scientist that she developed into.
Good evening Saihaj, I really like the different levels of interactivity in your learning centre. It was also very organized and easy to follow. Great job!
