From CPA at a top VC fund to a small business owner, Sarah Moret is no stranger to thinking big. 

During her time on a VC fund’s investment board, Sarah met with founders from all over the world. Inspired by their determination to bring their visions to life, she realized that if she wanted to, she could do the same.

Her eventual foray into the life of a founder was the result of a frustration with natural body products that didn’t work–aluminum-free deodorant being the number one culprit. Increasingly frustrated by the lack of effective products on the market, she decided she’d develop her own…and that’s how Curie was born. ... (READ MORE)

Marie Curie and her husband discovered radium and radioactivity in 1898.   Soon thereafter everything has radium in it, from beauty products to glow in the dark timepieces.  Who would have thought there was a tragic price to be paid for all that "healthy glow?"

What convinced the Nobel judges to give her the first Nobel Prize? What's a little curie? What did she hoard in her youthful life of crime?

It's time to laboriously stir our mix of pitchblende to find the uranium of truth.

A famous discovery ... by a lesser famous scientist.

Bible Verse:
Joshua 1:9
Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. 

El tubo de rayos catódicos es un aparato científico que fue fundamental para hacer una serie de descubrimientos notables a fines del sigo 19... y también para entretener a millones de niños gracias a esos pesados y enormes televisores de rayos catódicos. El descubrimiento de los rayos-X usando un tubo de rayos catódicos precipitó el descubrimiento de la radiactividad en minerales de uranio y, posteriormente, Marie Curie descubrió otros dos elementos radiactivos: a uno lo llamó polonio y al otro, radio. Y por alguna razón, el radio –un metal radiactivo que brillaba en la oscuridad– se convirtió en una suerte de panacea. Chocolates, pasta de dientes y hasta supositorios venían con radio, prometiendo mejor sabor, una sonrisa brillante o potenciar la próstata. En ese contexto, el uso del radio para hacer pintura fosforescente revolucionó a la fabricación de relojes, que ahora podían leerse en la oscuridad. Y para pintar las finas líneas de los relojes, las mujeres que trabajaban en esas fábricas afinaban la punta del pincel usando sus labios y tragando pequeñas dosis de radio en cada pasada. Esas mujeres fueron conocidas como "Las chicas del radio" y su caso generó cambios profundos en la legislación laboral y la protección de los trabajadores.
