Maria Skłodowska-Curie - that is the full name on the Nobel prize certificate. There is a reason she chose to retain her maiden name and we should honor it.
Not only was she the first person to win 2 Nobel prizes but also the first to win in different subjects (physics in 1903 and chemistry in 1911). And so far still the only person to win in different science subjects (Linus Pauling won in chemistry 1954 and the peace prize in 1962). A truly inspiring person.
