Always had a great deal of respect for Marie Curie. She was a brilliant woman. Partly because of the tremendous amount of simple physical labor she undertook. She processed a lot of ore. From Wikipedia: "The Curies undertook the arduous task of separating out radium salt by differential crystallization. From a tonne of pitchblende, one-tenth of a gram of radium chloride was separated in 1902. In 1910, she isolated pure radium metal."
