Rita Levi-Montalcini, the noted neurobiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for her groundbreaking discoveries at a time when it was unusual for women to have careers in science, passed away at her home in Rome Sunday at the age of 103.  She achieved so much despite persecution in her native Italy on account of her Jewishness.  Thank God for this remarkable woman who did so much to make the world a better place.  May there be more like her.
