An absolutely amazing woman. She, a Jewish woman, carried out her preliminary NGF research in a shed whilst hiding from the Nazis in occupied Florence. She won the 1968 Nobel in Medicine due to the research she carried out in that shed. Though I am not 100% certain, I believe that she got her NGF via the only source possible at the time: cobra venom. So, imagine this scene: A 34 year old Itallian-Jewish woman Doctor is milking cobras in a shed in Florence while hiding from Nazis during the day, and at night she is a mob-doctor for the Italian anti-fascist resistance. Do not ever let anyone tell you that you do not matter. Do not ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Be awesome, be like Rita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Levi-Montalcini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Levi-Montalcini
