"I was not always the best student with the highest grades, but my teachers saw something in me and tried to encourage me." This little girl would grow up to uncover one of the biggest mysteries of our brain - how we know where we are and how we navigate from one place to another. The discovery of grid cells - the brain's inner GPS - led to May-Britt Moser receiving the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Learn more: bit.ly/2D74rDL

"Don't follow the existing research." To truly make an impact, this year's chemistry laureate Susumu Kitagawa advises young scientists to think independently and follow their own path. Kitagawa was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work developing MOFs, porous materials which are able to store and release small molecules, in an amazing array of uses.
