I want to be cool... III

   
1. Not many people know about Marie Curie’s activities during the Worl War One. The grateful woman went to battlefield with her daughter Irene (later well known as the author of her mother’s biography) to set up an X-ray able to be carried around and get precise diagnosis of wound soldiers (she got the money from wealthy French families, universities and automobile factories).  In 1914 went in the first ambulance, only equipped with X-ray equipment motorized by a horsepower. Full of enthusiasm Mary learned anatomy, took radiology samples and even drove their vehicle! They say the very first soldier who got into the ambulance had bullets in his head, arm and hips. After took care, Mary diagnosed another 29 French privates just in one night and more than a million during two years, the whole time that this French Army service lasted). Mary Curie – or better: Marya Sklodowska, was born in November the 7^th of 1867 in Warsaw and passed away in July the 4^th of 1934.
2. Rachel was born in a small town in Pennsylvania, in 1907. She was brought up in a small farm and seems there became really interested in nature (she usually write poems about her animals – how sweet from a little girl!). When she reached 18 years old, left her family home and went to study zoology at the Pennsylvania College for Women. She graduated in 1929 and then study at the John Hopkins University in Baltimore. For many, many years she worked as a biologist. She had no doubt at all about people, animals and plants are all linked and her books were fundamental to many people to understand the importance of environment for every one of us. Nowadays, they call her ‘The Mother of the Environmental Movement’.

I want to be cool, just like these people.
