contrast the leitrim story with that of beatrice levi - montalcini , an italian peer laureate who made 100 last wednesday . she currently attends for working every weekend at the national brain research institute in rome , it she organized . she was designated a senator for women in 2001 , and in 2006 , as 97 , she attended the open assembly of the newly reelected senate . she does part in dialogue in the upper house , and in 2004 defended the teaching of evolution in rome schools . there is no recorded of her having claimed a time off because of festival commitments . but she even attempted to progress right through the roses of waterford without moving her heads from her petri dish .
Rita Levi-Montalcini is a Nobel prize winner.
