1) Marie Sklowdoska Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize (for physics in 1903) and the first person — man or woman — to win the award twice (the second was for chemistry in 1911). When did she and Pierre Curie marry?

The EuChemS Chemistry Congress is the largest European chemistry congress. It is held every other year in a different European country. Events so far have taken place in Budapest, Torino, Nuremberg, Prague, Istanbul, Seville, Liverpool, Lisbon, and now in Dublin.

All plants produce considerable amounts of polyphenols as secondary metabolites, which then serve as flower pigments, protection from UV light, and defense against the plant’s being eaten. Polyphenols are regarded as healthy substances since they are thought to shield people from “illnesses of civilization” such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, or diabetes. But what specific compounds show a prophylactic effect with respect to these conditions, and how do they work?

Breast milk remains the “gold standard” of baby nutrition: numerous investigations in recent decades have supported its positive effects on the development of nursing infants. As far back as the early 19th century, pediatricians determined that the mortality of infants fed with breast milk was significantly lower than that of those who received no breast milk [1].
