Read this passage from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity":


To the Austrian mine owners who had sent the pitchblende ore, it was just dirt.

If a pair of eccentric French scientists wanted them to scoop up the worthless stuff and ship it, the mine owners were happy to oblige.

A.
to show that the Curies' scientific efforts and instincts were not initially understood or appreciated by many people
