Curie Division of Championships

[RoboGeek99]

Who is the Curie Division named after?
We think its either Pierre Curie or Marie Curie not sure which...

[EricH]

I would assume Marie Curie, as she is better known. Or haven't you heard one of the Curie cheers: Madam! Curie!

[Bob Steele]

Marie Curie... 2 Nobel prizes....
Probably one of the greatest early chemists...
not to mention that she was a woman in a world dominated by male scientists.

[Flyin' Axe]

Its named after Madam Curie, I remembered the MC saying "Madam Curie" and me taking some time to research Radium! Good stuff that she invented, unfortunately, that is also the reason why she died [I think...].

I've always assumed it was the whole Curie family, which has five Nobel Laureates. The "Ma-dam Cur-ie" chant just fits well.

Even if you say otherwise, I will ignore you on the grounds I think the rest of her family deserves attention too.

Sarcastic, somewhat witty and dismissive all at the same time. Terrifying how much that sounds exactly like something an older Lavery would say. Poor young lad never had a chance.

Yup and often painfully truthful.

This was an amazing family who worked together in difficult times, and faced daunting challenges and ignorance. I celebrate Madame Curie and I also celebrate the family goals and achievements gained from working together. It's huge.

Ye gads, I never realized the pedigree of that family!
