10
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.320
of radioactivity was named in honor of the Curies? Question five?

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.679
During World War One, what did Marie Kusury developed to

12
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.879
help wounded soldiers? Time to conduct our experimental answers, Welcome

13
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.680
back researchers, let's analyze our results. Question one asked what

14
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.799
