Why must visitors sign a waiver and wear protective gear to view Marie Curie's manuscripts?

Great woman especially at the era she lived in

Tom, I wish peace were scientific as we would be able to control it but it's not. So it remains that Marie Curie is the only person to have nobel prizes in two scientific fields.

Tom, It is correct because it specifies two Scientific fields . Pauling’s second was for Peace .

But probably wouldn't want to shake hands with her.

I heard somewhere that when introduced to someone they reported " She had a glow about her & " She absolutely Glowed "

the only reason I knew this was the first watch I bought had a radium dial

What a tragedy such a great woman ever had to die !! Ironically, as smart as she was, she might one day have cured cancer, exactly what killed her !!

I thought this was wrong, I checked. Linus Pauling won a Nobel in chemistry and in peace .
