Marie Curie film

                                            

We didn't get to see the film at the cinema because it came out just as Covid was closing in but it is now out on DVD. I liked the film. It's strength is that it gives Marie Curie a character. Who knows if there take is really accurate but it makes me think that I know her better. One key point for me was the amount of physical experimentation in the labs. The book I'm reading about particle physics at the moment posits that things are going wrong because this is no longer possible. It inspired me to go away and look up the other Nobel laureates. I'm amazed that I haven't heard of many of them.
