Sir Isaac Newton

1643 — 1727

Born with a curious and inquisitive mind,
Newton grew up asking a lot of questions.
The natural atmosphere and terrain all
around him yearned for him. He’d usually
work on a variety of tackles and construc-
tive approaches. He became more curious
and inventive as he read more about topics
and is today acknowledged as one of histo-
ry’s greatest mathematicians and physicists.
Thanks to his curiosity and critical thinking,
we now understand concepts such as the

laws of gravity and motion.

Marie Curie

1867 — 1934

A French physicist and chemist who made
significant breakthroughs in the area of
radioactivity, which led to the development
of X-Ray machines, early cancer treatments,
and other vital healthcare technologies. Curie

was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and
the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two
different scientific fields. Alluding to curios-
ity as a force for good, she said: “Nothing in
life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.
Now is the time to understand more, so that
we may fear less.”
