On the eve of International Women’s Day, we remember pioneering neurologist Rita Levi-Montalcini. Her groundbreaking investigations into how the nervous system develops deepened understanding of medical problems like senile dementia, deformities, and tumor diseases.

Born in Italy in 1909, her father did not believe in professional careers for women and did not let his daughters enroll at university. But Rita did not give up, and insisted on studying. The long road to the Nobel Prize included having to build a laboratory in her bedroom during World War II.

She was 103 years old when she passed away in 2012 - the longest-living Nobel Laureate ever.

Join us tomorrow when we celebrate more remarkable women!

“My absolute favorite role is on the dressings team in the changing of bandages and management of plastic surgery wounds. While I enjoy the technical and 'problem-solving' aspect of wound care, it is my favorite role because I get the honor of earning my patients' trust as they return day after day for painful dressing changes and procedures. Witnessing their courage and gaining their friendship is easily the most humbling experiences of all my time with .”

“Being a part of something bigger and more important than yourself is an experience that words fail to express. But I will say this: Our eternal destiny is to gather around the throne of God and worship him. Every nation and every language. As I go about my living and working on the ship, I experience a foreshadowing of heaven itself.” - Kirsten Murphy, Ward Nurse
