Rita Levi-Montalcini, 30 years of her nobel prize
Abstract
Thirty Years have passed since the famed Italian neurobiologist, Rita Levi-Montalcini, was awarded the Nobel Prize of Medicine or Physiology. Her outstanding career in the field of neuroscience was an example for all scientists and researchers, but moreover, her life was an example for all of mankind. This remarkable woman endured a staggering amount of obstacles in order to become a doctor, and a scientist. She prevailed above them, and lived a life of success, wisdom and principle. We wish to honor her achievements and reflect upon her awe-inspiring life.
