I succeeded my husband as head of the physic laboratory at the sorbona University , becoming doctor ofscience degree.
In 1903 I took place as professor of general physics, the first time a woman had raised this position.
Due to all my dedication to work and investigation I was awardedwith the Novel prize of physics in 1903.
Later in 1910 I gained a second Novel prize , this time in chemistry.
