8. Help from Einstein

Alfred Einstein is arguably the most famous scientist our planet has ever known. His work helped to revolutionize the way we see the universe and his findings are still the basis for many scientific fields today.

Any scientist on the planet would have been greatly honored to receive support from perhaps the greatest of them all. Einstein met Curie in Brussels in 1911. She was the only woman at the meeting and he was impressed by Curie and her work. On hearing about the difficulties Curie was having, Einstein wrote to her to encourage her to ignore her detractors and to take what was rightfully hers. The letter inspired Curie, and she travelled to Stockholm to claim her prize.
