Sunday, April 19, 2009
Rita Levi Montalcini is a 100 years old scientist from Italy who has recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Together with Stanley Cohen, she won a Nobel Prize in 1986 for discovering mechanisms that regulate the growth of cells and organs.
At 100 years old, Montalcini says that her mind is sharper than when she was at her 20's, which she attributed to her experiences in life.

At 100 years old, Montalcini says that her mind is sharper than when she was at her 20's, which she attributed to her experiences in life.
"At 100, I have a mind that is superior — thanks to experience — than when I was 20," she told the party, complete with a large cake for her.
The Turin-born Levi Montalcini recounted how the anti-Jewish laws of the 1930s under Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime forced her to quit university and do research in an improvised laboratory in her bedroom at home.
