Here's one heck of a family tradition!

Marie Curie (Born Maria Skłodowska) won a Nobel Prize in Physics and another one in Chemistry.
Her husband Pierre Curie won a Nobel Prize in Physics.
Their daughter Irene Joliet-Curie won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

OK, now let's hear you brag about your family's bowling trophies!

As a pro bowler my mother had a greater income then those science nerds living off of their Nobel prizes!

So, their contributions have nothing to do with what the poster was asking us to compare to! Right! Stay the course and keep on track!

@WillaKissing Denigrating Nobel Laureates with slurs is necessary to make your point?

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@WillaKissing I would never denigrate people who devote their lives to science. You posted about making money, but that is usually not what motivates people to study science. I certainly value the contributions of the Curies and other Nobel scientists very highly.

@DrWatson I did not post! I replied to the poster's post in the context of the question he posted. You are the one that took it to the Bob Nigh Science guy level. I only stuck to the "Original Poster' question!
