What a Disappointment She Must Have Been to Her Parents

[beamjockey]

Eve Curie has passed away at the age of 102.

The saddest sentence in the obituary:

As her interests were musical and literary rather than scientific, Eve Curie was the only member of her family who did not win a Nobel Prize.

I recently heard that Marie Curie was something of a cold fish, regarding anything that didn't have to do with her laboratory. I very much hope I'm wrong.

That's generally true. She was very focused on work.
