HONORABLE LEON B. POLSKY LECTURE: Rita Levi-Montalcini,
Time for Changes

Wednesday 14 May
Villa Aurelia - 6pm

Nobel Laureate in Medicine for 1986, Prof. Levi-Montalcini will address the themes of her latest book, Tempo di mutamenti, in which she argues for radical changes in the education of young children, in the preparation of youth for participation in the economy, and in the near-exclusion of women from decision-making roles in world politics. This event belongs to a series of annual lectures by distinguished scientists, addressed specifically to artists and to scholars in the humanities.

Ms. Levi-Montalcini is Professor Emerita of the Italian National Council of Research and the Washington University, St. Louis.
