“I was the worst out of 250.” John Gurdon, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012



Not even Nobel Prize laureates get straight A’s.

Hear 2012 medicine laureate John Gurdon speak about being a non-intellectual and having a teacher that thought it was “ridiculous” that Gurdon thought about becoming a scientist.

Developmental biologist Gurdon received the medicine prize “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.”
