Marie Curie wasn’t just a scientist - she was a trailblazing, genius badass

She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize & then just to flex, she won ANOTHER

During WWI, she brought mobile X-ray units to the front lines THAT SHE INVENTED

These are her "greatest hits" (thread)

Deadvlei, Namibia, is surrounded by the highest sand dunes in the world, up to 400 m.

I’m flying back from #Denver this evening but wanted to share with you a view we had on our journey out, over the southern tip of #Greenland. Playing follow the leader with a 767, we were treated to a stunning vista of rugged mountains, still lakes, glaciers, and icebergs. Best office view ever, tell me I’m wrong !! #aviationlovers #aviation #pilotlife #pilot
