contrast the leitrim story with that of rita levi - montalcini , an italian nobel nominee who turned 100 after wednesday . she therefore attends for work every day at the european brain research institute in turin , and she founded . she was appointed a representative for death in 2001 , and in 2006 , aged 97 , she entered the opening congress of the newly inaugurated senate . she takes part in discussions in the upper house , and in 2004 defended the teaching of evolution in italian colleges . there is no memory of her having claim a weekday off because of festival commitments . apparently she even attempted to move right through the rose of tralee without lifting her brain from her gallus dish .
Rita Levi-Montalcini is a Nobel prize winner.
