Trivia: Who was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes?
Albert Einstein
Stephen Hawking
Niels Bohr
Marie Curie
The correct answer is Marie Curie
So why is this answer correct? : Physicist and chemist Marie Curie (née Skłodowska) was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. She moved to Paris in 1891 to attend the Sorbonne, and it was there that she met her husband, Pierre Curie. The couple worked together on radioactive elements, and in 1903, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry — making her the first woman to win a Nobel. After a second win in 1911, she became the first person ever to be awarded two Nobels.
