Book
A Pioneer in Neuroscience
Who this is for:
Throughout her life, Rita Levi-Montalcini demonstrated deep commitment and dedication to transmitting values and knowledge. This graphic novel entitled ‘Rita Levi-Montalcini: a pioneer in neuroscience~ produced in collaboration with the Scuola lnternazionale di Comics di Jesi, has been freely adapted from Levi-Montalcini’s autobiography ‘In Praise of Imperfection’ and from accounts of her daily life from collaborators. Designed particularly for high school students, this graphic novel describes the life of an extraordinary woman who is a symbol of hope, courage and strength. We hope this little booklet will be a source of inspiration to those who did not have the fortune to meet Rita, and that her example will give them the confidence to face the challenges that life brings.
