Scientific Paradigms

We are going to do a presentation on how scientists have changed the way that society and the world perceive the world. I am working with a partner and we are talking about Madame Currie. Madame Currie sacrificed her health and eventually her life to persue scientific discovery on radiation and therefore was able to show the world the harmful effects of radiation. Imagine learning one day that the pretty glowing rocks used in everyday products was actually causing cancer and slowly killing you through invisible rays? The theory of such a reality only being learned in an instant after using radioactive materials in make-up, clothing, jewellery, and everyday products. The idea that something we use everyday could actually have invisible dangers is a freaky concept to consider.
