Marie Curie's inspirational quote about understanding rather than fearing the world sits ironically above two contrasting reactions to radiation. The blissfully ignorant cartoon character represents the public who thinks radiation is just cool superpowers, while the horrifying mutated face represents scientists who actually understand that Curie died from aplastic anemia caused by her own research. Nothing says "I understand radiation" quite like knowing it'll melt your bone marrow! The pioneers of nuclear science had such glowing personalities... mostly because they were literally glowing from radiation poisoning.
