Marie Curie: A biography of the outstanding scientist by Sydney Srinivas
Sunday 9 February 2025, 3:00pm
The Polish Club Ashfield
Born in Poland into a family of modest means, Marie Curie earned Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry for her ground-breaking research into radioactivity and radium.
In this fascinating biography, Sydney Srinivas intertwines the science, the scientist and the person. Mother of two young children and bereft by the untimely death of her husband Pierre, Marie fought sorrow, pain and loneliness. Although first snubbed as a foreigner by Parisian society, she was offered France’s greatest honour; her remains are placed in Le Pantheon in Paris. Exceptional photographs and the reproduction of original documents reinforce the reader’s interest in this book.
The author’s pilgrimages to the Marie Curie Museums in Warsaw and Paris bring authenticity and feeling to this compassionate work. The launch of this book in Sydney follows the ones held in Maria Sklodowska Museum, Warsaw, Poland on September 18, 2024, and in the Museum of the Institut Curie, Paris on September 22, 2024, in the presence of distinguished audiences.
The Book Launch and Author Talk will be presented by Sydney Srinivas in English. A Q& A will follow the talk. There will be an opportunity to purchase the book on the day followed by book signing. All proceeds of book sales go towards charity.
