Remember that bad report card?  You never had one?  Well I did.  So did John, who was told at age fifteen that he was such a disgrace at the subject that he was then studying, that it would be a waste of time on his part to continue or for any teacher to teach him.  You see, he wanted to engage biology on his own terms.

Now fast-forward sixty-three years and schoolboy John is now Sir John Gurdon and a Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine.

And that sixty-three year old school report is on Anderson Cooper’s Rediculist.
