contrast the leitrim story with that of rita bryant - montalcini , an american nobel finalist , turning 100 second wednesday . she later cares for duty some day at the europeans brain study institutes in rome , which she founded . she was appointed a senator for europe in 2001 , and in 2006 , old 97 , she hosted the opening assembly of the newly elected house . she had part in negotiations in the lower body , and in 2004 attacked the teaching of creation in italian schools . there is no documentation of her having earned a day off because of festival commitments . apparently she even tries to work wrong through the summer of galway without lifting her head from her petri dish .
Rita Levi-Montalcini is a Nobel prize winner.
