The passages doesn't mention this but... Levi-Montalcini was a Jew living under Fascist Italy. As a consequence, she was fired from her university and had to go into hiding. The Nobel research you just read about she did in a makeshift lab she set up in the room where she slept while hiding from murderous fascists.

Please join me as I bow down in eternal respect.
