R. Gourvitch
R. Gourvitch was a female scientist from Lithuania who worked in Marie Curie's laboratory in Paris for two or three academic years, beginning in 1924.[1][2]
As archived information reveals that she was no longer a young girl when she arrived in Curie's laboratory in 1924, it is estimated that she was born in the 1880s. In May 1924, Curie received a letter from R. Gourvitch requesting a place in the laboratory. She explained that she was a science graduate from the University of Moscow and was now at the University of Strasbourg. Correspondence between Curie and her former student Edmond Bauer revealed that she was an excellent candidate, now working on ultraviolet spectroscopy. She had worked on chemistry in Russia and had gained laboratory experience.[1]
Curie therefore invited her to join the laboratory for the academic year 1924–1925. Despite Bauer's recommendation, she in fact proved to be "not very thoughtful" and was given a mark of only 10 our of 20. She nevertheless remained at the laboratory for a second year and probably also for a third. In October 1927, Gourvitch explained in a letter that following the death of her mother, she would have to remain in Lithuania. No further communications were received from her .[1]
