Many Nobel laureates skipped classes, scored poorly, or faced expulsion. Albert Einstein often skipped boring lectures but excelled in physics, winning the 1921 Nobel. Richard Feynman, known for his unconventional style, who scored poorly in English and History, won the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. Carol Greider, diagnosed with dyslexia, co-discovered telomerase and won the 2009 Nobel in Medicine.
