[edit] Name

Did he go by Joliot-Curie or simply Joliot? I know Irene went by the hyphenated version but there seems to be a lot less consensus on Frédéric. Searching the web, I see lots of entries with both.

• NobelPrize.org: Joliot
• Lawrence and His Laboratory: Joliot
• Encyclopedia Brittanica: Ambiguous. Refers to him as Joliot individually until 1926, then calls them both Joliot-Curies and refers to him by his first name only.

Anybody know for sure on this? --Fastfission 02:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

According to Barbara Goldsmith's biography of Marie, following the marriage "Irène signed her scientific papers 'Irène Curie,' and he signed his 'F. Joliot,' but soon adjusted both their surnames to 'Joliot-Curie.' (p 207)--ragesoss 07:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
