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.”
