"On this date in 1867, two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, nee Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw, Poland. She abandoned her family's Roman Catholicism to become an agnostic as a teenager."
Considered a rationalist, Curie "spent much of the remainder of her life pursuing her humanitarian goal of 'easing human suffering.'"
