In 1898, Marie Curie's instruments showed impossible readings. The logical conclusion: her equipment was wrong. Instead, she trusted her data, and spent four years processing eight tons of ore to prove radium existed.

Her laboratory notebooks document exactly how she maintained systematic thinking under conditions that would break most people: limited resources, gender barriers, physical danger, personal tragedy, and public scandal.

This episode examines what Marie Curie's documented work reveals about integration under extreme constraint. Not speculation about her internal thoughts, actual evidence from lab notebooks, letters, and contemporary accounts spanning four decades.

What you'll learn:

How to build precision into your process when resources are most limited

How to adapt strategy while maintaining methodology when facing barriers you can't change

How to make conscious choices about continuation when circumstances make quitting rational

Why integration under constraint isn't superhuman capability, it's disciplined practice

Historical evidence examined:

100+ laboratory notebooks (still radioactive, now digitized)

1,000+ personal letters documenting decision-making

Published papers showing methodology evolution

Contemporary accounts from colleagues

This is The Integration Practice, teaching integrated thinking through historical case studies. Same principles that work with AI, proven through centuries of documented human achievement.
