When Marie was performing her most important research on radiation in the early 20th century, she had no idea of the effects it would have on her health.
It wasn't unusual for her to walk around her lab with bottles of Polonium and Radium in her pockets. She even described storing the radioactive material out in the open in her autobiography.
"One of our joys was to go into our workroom at night; we then perceived on all sides the feebly luminous silhouettes of the bottles of capsules containing our products. The glowing tubes looked like faint, fairy lights."
It's no surprise then, that Marie Curie died of Aplastic Anemia, likely caused by prolonged exposure to radiation, in 1934. Even her notebooks are still radioactive a century later. Today they're stored in lead-lined boxes, and will likely remain radioactive for another 1500 years.

This year, the ig nobel prize for chemistry was given to for estimating the total saliva volume produced per day by a typical five-year-old child. The answer is 500ml per day, btw.
