Some words about the 2010 President:
Hélène Langevin-Joliot comes from a remarkable family of distinguished scientists. Her grandparents, Marie and Pierre Curie, won the Nobel Prize for physics with Henri Becquerel in 1903, for the discovery of radium. Marie Curie won a second Nobel Prize, for chemistry, in 1911. And Langevin-Joliot's parents, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie, won a Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1935, for their discovery of artificial radioactivity.
Dr. Helene Langevin-Joliot is a respected nuclear physicist from the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Orsay, the laboratory set up by her parents.She also serves as a member of the scientific advisory committee to the French Parliament. She has made several contributions in the field of radioactivity. She has recently undertaken a mission to urge greater numbers of women to actively pursue and seek careers in scientific research and teaching, and it is with particular pride that IIWE is delighted to announce that Hélène Langevin-Joliot will be the President of the IIWE 2010 Summer session.
