    ...his achievements are amazing. Mario Capecchi[^] Truly enlightening. From starving in the streets, to Dachau, to a Nobel Prize.

      It is truly remarkable what people can do even when faced with such hardships.

        If he were born in the UK today, he would not be able to afford an education.

          You obviously heard the same BBC R4 programme I did! Amazing life indeed.

            Hi Dave, I understand from reading the Wiki article that no he (Mario Capecchi) but his mother was sent to Dachau concentration camp and he was staying with a peasant family until the money his mother provided for his care was exhausted and they couldn't provide care for him and he ended up on the streets at four and a half years old. Never the less a great story !

            With friendly greetings,:) Eric Goedhart
