Niigata, January 4, 2014

Dear Ketut,How are you back there in your beautiful country-in Bali right? Miss you so

much in this ski resort. I don’t have anyone to be my racing partner... True, there are many people here, but we cannot compete people from countries with no winter and people from Niigata right. So An Indonesian vs. A Pilipino, it was fair enough, wasn’t it?

And this afternoon I had an unforgettable experience. I was cycling with my new roommate around the country lane when we saw some children playing on a frozen pond.

Suddenly we heard a shout. One boy had fallen through the ice. We immediately rushed over to help, but it was too dangerous to walk across the ice. My friend and I ran to borrow a ladder. I put the ladder on the ice and crawled across it towards the boy. I caught hold of his hand and finally manage to pull him out of the icy water. Luckily the boy wasn’t hurt, but he was very frightened.

His parents turned up about ten minutes later. When they saw him, they were shocked and very angry with him! I felt a bit sorry for the boy. He had certainly learnt a lesson – the hard way.

Sincerely,Gene

Marie Curie was born as Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867. Though Maria excelled in school, no university in Poland at that time allowed female students.

In 1891, Maria traveled to Paris, France. She called herself Marie, the French form of Maria. She attended the Sorbonne, a famous college in Paris. Marie studied physics and mathematics and graduated at the top of her class. She also met a French chemist named Pierre Curie. They married in 1895.

Marie and Pierre were pioneers in studying radioactivity. Radioactivity is a process in which certain elements, such as uranium, break down into other elements. In the process, they give off energy in the form of radiation. Marie and Pierre built on the work of Wilhelm Roentgen, who discovered X rays, and Antoine Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity in the element uranium. X rays are a type of radiation.

The Curies discovered that a mineral called pitchblende was radioactive. Pitchblende contains uranium. But pitchblende gives off more radiation than uranium alone could. The Curies guessed that there must be other radioactive elements in the pitchblende.

The Curies separated huge amounts of pitchblende into its chemical parts—the elements it is made of. In July 1898, they reported the discovery of a new element called polonium. In December, they announced the discovery of another new element, radium.

In 1906, a horse-drawn carriage hit and killed Pierre. Marie stepped into his teaching post at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to teach at the university. She poured her energy into research and raising her daughters. One daughter, Irene, followed her parents into scientific research. In 1914, the Sorbonne built a new laboratory to research radioactive materials. Today the laboratory is named after Marie Curie.

Marie Curie earned little money from her famous research. Her Nobel Prize money paid for more research. She did not patent—reserve for her own gain—her discoveries. She left them free for other scientists to use.
