"Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood" - Marie Curie
There is an interesting story about selective amnesia - This story is about how Marie Curie was snubbed for being an immigrant from Poland by media, and those with power in France, while the same people never lost an opportunity to take credit for her being a French woman after Marie Curie became the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes in two different fields.
It is one more example that shows the importance of looking at the quality of work, and the contribution of an individual/team rather than where they are from.
This story is not confined to France. Srinivasan Ramanujan had to go through a somewhat similar experience. When people have not much understanding of the value of those contributions, they would never get to appreciate those contributions, and that person as well. In Ramanujan's case, Mathematicians in England knew Ramanujan's extraordinary ability, but he never got that reception in India.
We will see these stories later - Not only these two but many others from around the world.
