The contemporary science has become more and more parameterized and focused on points. In this situation it is more and more difficult to maintain “the purity” of the idea of science and its main goal – discovering the world, in selfless duty. That’s the reason why I have presented the example of a scientist, who was uncompromisingly, and with a real passion, devoted to science. I have choosen Maria Skłodowska-Curie: we celebrate the 150th anniversary of her birth in 2017.

Biographers of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, characterizing her features of personality, underline her pragmatism, consequence in action and logical mind. Her studies in the fields of mathematics, physics and chemistry developed these features of personality and, at the same time, paved her way to achievements on the world’s scale.

On May 20, 1921 during the ceremony of presenting a gram of radium to Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the President of the United States, Warren Harding, called the Polish scientist “the most noble of human beings, the best wife and a loving mother who could combine all the woman’s duties with the immense effort of her fabulous work.” It is unquestionable that scientific research in the field of experimental physics was the main aim and sense of Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s life. But this field of science, which a two-time Noble laureate has chosen, was, at those times, “exclusively male.”

Since 1911, the international Solvay Conferences on Physics have been and continues to be one the most significant conventions of physicists and is of great importance for the progress in this field of science. Between 1911 and 1933, Marie Skłodowska-Curie took an active part in the organisation and works of those Conferences. The article discusses the origin of the Conferences and contribution of Marie Skłodowska-Curie to their organisation, as well as her rank as a member of the International Scientific Committee, whose task was to convene them. Marie Skłodowska-Curie’s important part in the selection of participants and her own participation in discussions at the Conferences is also presented in this article.

The article discusses the idea of universities for children, particularly its foundation by Maria Skłodowska-Curie and the current condition of this initiative. Maria Skłodowska-Curie was not only an excellent scientist, but also a great teacher and an educational innovator. She was the first to show that university may be a great place for children to learn. She emphasised that universities should be responsible not only for teaching but also for students’ flourishing. Modern universities seem to draw on this inspiring idea developed by Skłodowska-Curie. The author describes how the Maria Skłodowska-Curie cooperative changed as well as how the idea evolved into the university for children as it is recognised today.

For the first quarter of the 20th century, the Curie Laboratory and the Ernest Rutherford Laboratory were the two main research centers for radioactivity. Both dealt with the same field, but had different priorities from the beginning. The Paris laboratory focused on discovering and studying the properties of new radioactive elements, while Rutherford in his laboratories in Montreal, and later in Manchester and Cambridge, tried, above all, to explain the very nature of radioactivity. There was a clear competition between the two laboratories, which, however, did not preclude personal and scholarly cooperation between their heads of research, i.e. Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Ernest Rutherford. The article discusses the main topics of this collaboration, such as developing a radium template, assigning scientific terminology, organizing scientific conferences, and preparing students. In addition, a few passages were devoted to the private relations between both scientists, which had a direct impact on their collaboration.

The article regards the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Marie Sklodowska-Curie − a discoverer of polonium and radium, twice decorated with a Noble Prize, the first woman professor of the Sorbonne, who in the ranking organized by the periodical New Scientist was considered the most outstanding and inspiring scientist of all time.In her youth, many universities (among them also Polish) were closed to women, so Marie Skłodowska studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. When, after her studies, she was not accepted as an assistant at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), Marie Skłodowska came back to Paris, married Pierre Curie and started her scientific work in his humble lab.The scientific achievements of Maria Skłodowska-Curie were a breakthrough in the history of exact sciences and the basis for the application of new methods in oncological therapies. For modern scientists she is a timeless source of inspiration and is admired not only for her scientific achievements but also for her courage in breaking barriers and helping to redefine the role of women in society and science.On November 7, 2017, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Marie Skłodowska-Curie’s birth. In Poland and abroad many events were organized during the whole year of 2017 to commemorate her life and achievements. Some of them, as well as some aspects of Skłodowska-Curie’s life and work are described in this paper.

Artykuł poświęcony jest obchodom 150. rocznicy urodzin dwukrotnej laureatki Nagrody Nobla, odkrywczyni polonu i radu, pierwszej kobiecie profesor Sorbony, która w rankingu zorganizowanym przez periodyk New Scientist uznana została za najwybitniejszą i najbardziej inspirującą uczoną wszechczasów.W młodości Marii wiele uniwersytetów (w tym także polskie) było zamkniętych dla kobiet, więc Skłodowska studiowała na Sorbonie w Paryżu. Kiedy po studiach nie została przyjęta jako asystentka na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w Krakowie, wróciła do Paryża, poślubiła Piotra Curie i rozpoczęła pracę naukową w jego skromnym laboratorium.Osiągnięcia naukowe Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie były przełomem w historii nauk ścisłych i podstawą do zastosowania nowych metod w terapiach onkologicznych. Dla obecnych naukowców jest ponadczasowym źródłem inspiracji i jest podziwiana nie tylko za osiągnięcia naukowe, ale także za odwagę w przełamywaniu barier i pomoc w redefiniowaniu roli kobiet w społeczeństwie i nauce.W dniu 7 listopada 2017 r. świętowaliśmy 150. rocznicę urodzin Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie. W Polsce i za granicą przez cały 2017 rok zorganizowano wiele wydarzeń, upamiętniających jej życie i osiągnięcia. Niektóre z nich, a także niektóre aspekty życia i pracy Skłodowskiej-Curie zostały opisane w niniejszym artykule.

W rozwijaniu zainteresowań uczniów naukami przyrodniczymi ważną rolę odgrywają szkolne konkursy przedmiotowe i interdyscyplinarne. Włączając się w obchody setnej rocznicy przyznania Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie Nagrody Nobla za odkrycie radu, Mazowieckie Samorządowe Centrum Doskonalenia Nauczycieli zorganizowało i przeprowadziło na terenie Mazowsza konkurs interdyscyplinarny dla gimnazjalistów „Wokół odkryć naukowych polskiej noblistki Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie”. Był on realizowany dwutorowo: w formie testu różnicującego wiedzę i umiejętności uczniów uzdolnionych oraz projektu edukacyjnego i przebiegał na etapach szkolnym, rejonowym oraz wojewódzkim. Oprócz popularyzacji wiedzy, rozwijał u uczniów zainteresowanie naukami ścisłymi, w szczególności fizyką, chemią i biologią. Uczestnicy wykazali się dużą wiedzą oraz widocznymi w realizacji projektów edukacyjnych kreatywnością i oryginalnością rozwiązań. W artykule tym omówiono m.in. założenia konkursu oraz wyniki części testowej.

In developing the interests of the students in natural sciences an important role may be ascribed to school competitions. Joining in the celebration of the centenary of Maria Sklodowska-Curie Nobel Prize for the discovery of radium, Mazovia Local Government Teacher Training Centre organized and carried out in an interdisciplinary contest for gymnasium students (ISCED 2) „Around scientific discoveries of the Polish Nobel Prize winner Marie Skłodowska-Curie”. It was carried out in two ways: in the form of a test differentiating knowledge and skills of gifted students and of the educational project, and proceeded at three levels: school, district and provincial. Apart from popularization of knowledge, it developed students’ interests in science, especially physics, chemistry and biology. Participants demonstrated their knowledge and creativity and originality of solutions, well visible in the implementation of educational projects. This article discusses, among others, assumptions of the competition and the results of the test section.
