Marie Curie
Marie Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) was a Polish physicist and chemist. She spent most of her professional career in Paris, where she literally changed the course of the 20th century with her discoveries in radioactivity. She won a Nobel Prize in both Physics and Chemistry (the only person in history to do so), and she even coined the word "radioactive". If she'd lived a bit longer she probably would have picked up a Nobel Prize in Medicine as well for her pioneering work in radiation therapy. There are chemical elements, radioactive minerals, universities, hospitals, trains stations and an asteroid named after her. Her face has been on banknotes and stamps. She is regularly cited as being among the most influential scientists of the 20th century.
Basically we talking a TITAN of science.
