I chose to work in a field of x-rays and Becquerel’s observation of the mysterious power of samples of uranium salts to expose photographic film.

While working on my studies for radioactivity, I had convicted my husband to join me in the endeavor of isolating the “radioactive” substance- a word I coined.
