Just to note: Marie Curie's lab books cannot be handled without protective gear and are stored in lead containment boxes because of all the new chemistry she discovered.
Ehh radioactivity is squarely in physics
Leaving aside that chemical reactions can absolutely produce radiation, when you're on the cutting edge these things get blurry.
She did get Nobel prizes in Physics and Chemistry, so you're both right!
(not nuclear radiation, which is what curie was working with largely)
