Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Not defined by her husband's achievements, surname and nationality, but a great scientist on her own.

The Academy originally planned to award only Pierre and Henri Becquerel. Pierre insisted that Marie should also be included.

Marie Sklodowska-Curie. If you want to celebrate women in STEM, respect their identities and not reduce them to husband's name.

Thank you for flagging. We did pick this up back in December and say we'd do it in future. We'd not factored in that we use a scheduler to copy old posts and hadn't put a big reminder up to check we'd updated her name. We'll go through and set reminders to amend the posts when we reuse them.

If we had an edit function here we'd edit it too, but this is where bluesky is less good than Mastodon.
