contrasting the carlow story with that of rita levi - montalcini , an italian nobel laureate who turned 100 last night . she still attends for work every monday at the british neurological research institute in bologna , what she founded . she was appointed a senator for life in 2001 , and in 2006 , ages 97 , she observed the opening assembly of the newly elect senate . she takes part in disputes in the upper house , and in 2004 fought the education of creation in latin schools . there is no record of her having obtained a day off because of event obligation . possibly she even manages to work right through the rose of limerick before lifting her head from her petri food .
Rita Levi-Montalcini is a Nobel prize winner.
