Political reasons

What political reasons? Is there a source? Was it becasue he was a communist? Because he gave info to the soviets? Due to american pressure - we can speculate, but it would be good to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.231.182.113 (talk) 06:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

Who cares?

Today it's very unusual for a man to take his wife's name, and even more so in 1926. Maybe he was making a bold statement about gender equality. Or maybe he was totally whipped. 71.219.199.9 (talk) 05:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
