The Life and Work of Marie Curie

Monday, November 5, 2018 at 7:00 pm at the Rose Caracappa Center on Rte 25A in Mount Sinai Free and Open to All
Light refreshments will be served

Marie Curie was a wife, mother and an extraordinary scientist; the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person and only woman to win twice. Marie Curie is still the only person awarded a Nobel Prize in two different sciences: the Physics Prize in 1903 that she shared with her husband Pierre Curie and Antoine Henri Becquerel, for their work on radioactivity, and the Chemistry Prize in 1911 for the discovery of polonium and radium. Learn more about her life and work as Edward A. Sierra shares his interest in this early pioneer of radioactivity.

After six years in the U.S. Navy, Edward A. Sierra went to work as a field operator at the Hope Creek Nuclear Power Station in New Jersey. In 1985 he began working at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). He was a reactor operator at both the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor and the High Flux Beam Reactor where he was also a reactor operations instructor. He is the American Nuclear Society (LI Section) Vice President. Ed earned graduate degrees in Training & Learning Technology, Secondary Education, and Communications from the New York Institute of Technology, Dowling College, and Marist College, respectively.
