As part of the radiation safety and radiation protection course, the documentary "A Life Dedicated to Science", about Marie Curie's academic life, was watched. Marie Curie, who played a major role in the discovery of radioactive elements such as polonium, thorium and radium, made history by receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, becoming the first scientist and the first female scientist to receive a Nobel Prize in two branches. She made significant contributions to the world of science by making significant progress in the field of radioactivity in line with the work she did with her husband, Pierre Curie. Marie Curie, whose health deteriorated due to the radiation she was exposed to during her work, died on July 4, 1934. Within the scope of this activity, students learned about the life and academic achievements of the inventor of some radioactive elements, which they learned in the radiation safety and radiation protection course, and that working with radioactive substances unprotected for a long time significantly affects health. They raised awareness about working with protective equipment in radiation environments.
