| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another bonus episode of Calm History, an extra treat for my SOC Plus members. |
| 0:09.7 | This is the story of Marie Curie, a famous scientist who I trust you've heard of. |
| 0:19.1 | But how well do you know and understand her contributions to science? |
| 0:25.4 | Go ahead. Take a shot at the following multiple choice question. Which of the following |

| 2:23.9 | Starting there would make sense if my goal is to tell you the biography of Marie Curie. But that's not my |
| 2:33.8 | goal. I'm's not my goal. |
| 2:35.3 | I'm just not that interested |
