In 1922, the Senate of the University of Poznań on the initiative of prof. Adam Wrzosek awarded the dignity of honorary doctor to Marie Skłodowska-Curie. The scientist was the first honorary doctor of the Poznań university. Unfortunately, for various reasons, she did not come to Poznań and receive her diploma. From the diaries of prof. Adam Wrzosek, it is known that the diploma was never even printed. After a hundred years, on the initiative of prof. Tomasz Pospieszny and dr. Iwona Taborska from the Faculty of Chemistry of the of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, the honorary doctorate diploma was handed over to the scientistʼs granddaughter, prof. Hélène Langevin-Joliot. The ceremony was held under the patronage of Her Magnificence the Rector, prof. Bogumiła Kaniewska and the honorary patronage of the Mayor of Poznań, Mr. Jacek Jaśkowiak. The Polish Chemical Society actively participated in the event, and the president of PTCHm, prof. Izabela Nowak presented prof. Hélène Langevin-Joliot, one of the highest distinctions – Honorary Member of the Polish Chemical Society.

The history of radioactivity is inextricably linked with the figures of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, Pierre Curie and Ernest Rutherford. Without a trace of exaggeration, it should be admitted that we owe the knowledge of this phenomenon to them. Thanks to their work and genius, the radiation emitted by the „strangeˮ elements has gained notoriety in the scientific world. Over time, they were joined by other researchers, expanding the foundations of the new science and building a huge palace on them. They also emphasized the practical use of radioactive elements. And although the phenomenon itself was discovered in 1896 by Antoine Henri Becquerel, the birth of radioactivity should be attributed to the pioneering work of Rutherford and the Curies. The discovery of polonium and radium by Marie and Pierre Curie marked the beginning of a fascinating journey that led humanity into the atomic age. Thanks to them, the alchemists’ dream came true.

When Marie Skłodowska-Curie began research on the radiation of uranium compounds discovered by Henri Becquerel, she uncovered two new chemical elements, sparking a revolution in atomic science. From the very beginning, radium was hailed as a miraculous element; itssalts emitted heat, colored porcelain and glass, and emitted a unique glow. Radium quickly found applications in medicine, where it was not only used to treat diseases but also employed in „mild radium therapy” for preventive purposes. Radium, however, possessed not only healing properties but also purported to have the ability to beautify, rejuvenate, prevent, and captivate. A global „radium fever” ensued, leading to the addition of radioactive salts to almost all everyday products. The stories of the „radium girls” and golfer Eben Byers, however, cast a shadow over the fame of radium.

Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the greatest Polish Scientist, was a founding member of the Polish Chemical Society. Attempts to honor her figure in a museum in Warsaw were made successively from the mid-1930s by her siblings, the president and members of the Polish Chemical Society. On the centenary of Madame Curie's birth, a museum managed by the Society was established in Warsaw, in the house of her birth. Half a century later, joint management was taken over by the capital city of Warsaw and the Polish Chemical Society. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Museum is the only biographical museum of Madame Curie in the world.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie is the only woman awarded the Nobel Prize twice: in physics in 1903 and in chemistry in 1911. She is also the only person to have received these awards in two different scientific disciplines. It is worth noting, however, that she almost did not receive any of them. In 1903, only Pierre Curie and Antoine Becquerel were nominated for the Nobel Prize. It was claimed that Marie Skłodowska-Curie was only her husbandʼs assistant. Thanks to the intervention of Pierre Curie, Marie was also appreciated. In 1911, Madame Curie was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but after French newspapers revealed her affair with Paul Langevin, some Swedish scientists demanded that she resign from receiving the prize. Strength of character, courage and independence made Marie Skłodowska-Curie not give in to attacks from public opinion and lies, and she received both Nobel Prizes with dignity, thus creating her legend.

The paper is of a review character and in historical terms, it contains an overview of research on polonium from the time of its discovery in 1898 (125 years ago) to the present time. The article contains a description of the state of knowledge about the chemistry of polonium, taking into account its physicochemical properties, as well as methods of its production and the radioactivity of its isotopes, as well as its current scientific and industrial applications. The issue of strong radiotoxicity of polonium and the dangers associated with research on it, as well as numerous example of diseases and death from its absorption into the human body, are described in detail. Despite the passage of 125 years since the discovery of polonium, it still fascinates researchers with its mysteries that have not been fully understood, revealed and explained. The sources of this peculiarity should be sought in the fact that although it is classified as a metal, it also has non-metallic properties and can form a number of different chemical compounds. Several chemical compounds of polonium have been tested, which are very easy to get into the human body, where it causes terrible havoc. Alpha particles emitted from decay of 210Po can cause damage to proteins and DNA that load to cell death or such changes in the body that consequently initiate the development of cancer. So you could say that polonium not only has a rich past, but also has an undeniably interesting future.

W artykule poniżej można wyróżnić dwa tematy: Pierwszy to próba innego spojrzenia na znane fakty z jej biografii: - starania o członkostwo Akademii Nauk (nie antyfeminizm, a raczej ksenofobia), - francuska wojskowa służba radiologiczna (poziom techniczny a zastosowania praktyczne), - cena radu (rola rynku). Drugi temat to przedstawienie nieznanych lub mało znanych, faktów z życiorysu Marii: - jej praca we Włoszech w 1918 r. w poszukiwaniach złóż rud uranu i oznaczaniu zawartości radonu w źródłach wód mineralnych, - podróż do Brazylii, - mniej znane fakty z życia jej przodków (dziadkowie, stryj Zdzisław).

In the paper below one can distinguish two subjects. First is an attempt of another viewpoint in the well known events in the biography of Maria Skłodowska-Curie: - her attempts to enter the Academy of Science (not antifeminism but xenophobia), - French military radiology (technical level and practical application), - the price of radium (variation with time). Other subject is presentation of some unknown or less known facts from Maria biography: - her work in Italy in 1918 in searching the uranium ore and determining of radon content in mineral waters, - her trip to Brasil, - her ancestry (grandparents, uncle Zdzisław).

25 lat temu kilkoro pasjonatów podziwiających pracę, dokonania i osobowość Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie postanowiło utworzyć stowarzyszenie, którego zadaniem będzie propagowanie wiedzy na temat odkryć, pracy naukowej Uczonej. Dodatkowo postawili sobie za cel przypominanie czy wręcz informowanie świata o fakcie, że Maria Skłodowska-Curie urodziła się w Warszawie, że uważała się za Polkę i była dumna z tego faktu. Na początku lat 90. rzadko poza Polską można było przeczytać o Jej polskim pochodzeniu. Liczne spotkania, imprezy, wystawy organizowane przez Towarzystwo Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w Hołdzie oraz bardzo wyraźnie podkreślona w statucie działalność edukacyjna była i jest obecnie w centrum działań Towarzystwa.

25 years ago, several enthusiasts admiring the work, achievements and personality of Maria Skłodowska-Curie decided to create an association whose task would be to promote knowledge about the discoveries and scientific work of the Scientist. In addition, they set themselves the goal of reminding or even informing the world about the fact that Maria Skłodowska-Curie was born in Warsaw, that she considered herself Polish and was proud of this fact. At the beginning of the 90s, it was rarely possible to read about her Polish origin outside Poland. Numerous meetings, events, exhibitions organized by the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Society in Homage and very clearly highlighted in the statute educational activity was and is now at the center of the Society\ u0027s activities.

Ktoś kiedyś powiedział, że życie Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie było drogą; wędrówką przez meandry trudnego okresu dzieciństwa w kraju, który nie cieszył się niepodległością; młodości skazanej na pracę poza domem i studiami z konieczności odbywanymi za granicą, z dala od najbliższych i przyjaciół; dorosłości najeżonej trudnościami związanymi z przesądami moralnymi i tradycyjnym pojmowaniem odrębności świata mężczyzn i kobiet; wreszcie dojrzałości w poczuciu spełnionego obowiązku i postawionych sobie zadań. Gdy spojrzymy na losy Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w ten sposób, widzimy życie odważne, trudne, ale pełne, wartościowe i chyba szczęśliwe, bo według jej własnych zasad. Ona sama streściła je następująco. „Urodziłam się w Warszawie, w rodzinie profesorskiej, wyszłam za mąż za Piotra Curie. Miałam dwoje dzieci. Dzieło moje naukowe wykonałam we Francji”. Te niezwykle lapidarne słowa zamieszczone są przez uczoną w jej autobiografii.
