Pierre was born on May 15th 1859. His father, who was a professor as well, decided that he was going to be a slower learner then all of the other kids. So he decided to homschool him. After his father was done homeschooling him, he became an assistant in the lab. He helped his brother and his father in the lab. He and his brother, Jacques, were studing crystallography. Things like quartz and different types of crystals. He went to the Physics and Industrial Chemistry School to earn his degree in Physics. Later he married his wife, Marie, and began studing things with her, such as radioactivity. They won the Nobel Peace Prize and the Davy Medal awards for their discoveries and work they've done. Before he was married, his job was working and studing things in the lab with his dad and brother and their co-workers. But, when he married Marie, he changed his co-workers to her. Pierre was killed in a carriage crash on April 19th, 1906. His death was very brutal, for he was struck by a horse carriage and somehow crushed his skull. This led to his death.** []
