Marie Curie was one of the very few women to ever receive the Freedom of the City of Glasgow (Curie and Elaine C Smith are the only two women who weren't royals or gentry to get this honour). There's a signed copy of her doctoral thesis in @uofglasgow.bsky.social library

Marie Curie was born #OnThisDay 1867.

Madame Curie visited Glasgow in 1929, being hosted by Professor Archibald Young and Mrs Anna Young.

Here is a photo of Irene Curie, Madame Curie, and Mrs Young enjoying the fresh Scottish air at Loch Fyne 😅

Black and white photo showing three women standing in front of a rock face. The women are wrapped up in big coats and don't look particularly thrilled to be out in the fresh Scottish air!

🌱Loved crawling around in the mud with this amazing team! Total dedication 👏

🌱An extremely rare moss, which has only been found in one place in the UK in the last 30 years, has been moved to two Scottish Water reservoirs in a bid to revive the critically endangered species.

I was sorry to hear that Ray Brooks has died. In 1999 I was involved in making a low budget BBC documentary about Belle & Sebastian and we got Ray to narrate it. We were fans of his work on Mr. Benn. He did a smashing job for us and was pleasant to work with. Here’s a short extract.
