Today we remember Marie Curie, born #OnThisDay in 1867, who still inspires us all to reject the stereotypes that hold #WomenInScience back.
She was the 1st woman to win a @NobelPrize, 1st person to win twice and the only one to win in 2 different branches of science. 👩🔬🥇

Around the world, #WomenInScience are at the frontline of the #COVID19 response, but they are still paid much less than their male counterparts.
Women across all sectors deserve #EqualPay!
