I heard her being interviewed on the World Service yesterday and she attributed her success to Mussolini - if he hadn't decided to persecute Italian Jews she wouldn't have spent years holed up in hiding with nothing but her books for entertainment.

So yes, she is extremely awesome.

@Glaven: Sweet! Your mom and Dr. Montalcini both rock (and make me wish I'd gone to med school)!

I love how she's regally holding the wine glass, if only i looked this classy while drinking booze.

@Sookie Stackhouse: My lack of class might be contributed to never holding a glass, but instead taking the whole bottle

Is it weird that I'm looking forward to getting older and wiser? I know that as I get older, I'll have to worry about more health issues, but seriously, I'm only 27 now and I'm thinking about how dumb I was at 22. I figure if I just try to stay healthy and keep learning as much as I can, I'll be FUCKING AWESOME by the time I'm older. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to being a silver-haired know-it-all?

@tscheese: I envy you. It's my birthday in a few days and I'm all depressed about being in my mid-20s. Becoming an "adult" has been a strange and somewhat difficult process. But I admire your views and if I managed to adopt them, I'm guessing I'd probably be an all-around happier person.

@tscheese: Not at all. I'd like to think that as a 20-something, the best years of my life are yet to come.

@maneki neko: me too, i hate when people tell you that high school and college are the best years of your life really? I enjoyed high school and college but if thats the supposed pinnacle i might as well end it. The best is soo yet to come

Wow...and to think, today I walked along the Seine moping about what a washed-up old crone I am at 30. Don't I feel like a silly little brat now?

Here's to you Rita!!

From this day forth, Rita Montalcini's picture will be Photoshopped by my brain onto every single magazine cover. THIS exists in the world, the experience and the knowledge, and yet Miley Cyrus is on 10 magazine covers per week. Rita is a great example of the power of wisdom over the power of youth.
