Polish sculptor and painter. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Kraków. She was a member of the radical left-wing Krakow Group.

In Nude (1938) the forms are simple and almost abstract. In her paintings this same simplicity of forms and motifs turns into richness of texture and compositional structure. Until World War II Jarema also acted, and she designed costumes for the painters’ experimental theatre Cricot.

S svojimi dognanji sta omogočila kasnejšo uporabo radioaktivnih izotopov v medicini. Za odkritje umetne radioaktivnosti je skupaj z možem 1935 prejela Nobelovo nagrado za kemijo. Umrla je za levkemijo, za katero je, tako kot mati, zbolela zaradi radioaktivnega sevanja.

The French physicists Jean Frederic Joliot and Irene Curie are known for their pioneering work in radioactivity and nuclear science. They adopted the name Joliot-Curie when they were married in 1926. Irene was the daughter of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, the discoverers of radium. She began her career as an assistant at the Radium Institute of the Sorbonne in Paris, where she studied the ejection of alpha rays from polonium. There she met and married Frederic, who later received (1930) his doctorate from the University of Paris. Working together, the two scientists obtained results that were instrumental in the discovery (1932) of the neutron by the English physicist James Chadwick. Continuing their work with the alpha particles emitted by plutonium, they discovered (1934) that the irradiation of aluminum by these particles produces a new, unstable isotope of phosphorus. For this first instance of artificial radioactivity, the Joliot-Curies were awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize for chemistry.
