A Successful Career Without Credentials

News from the web:

John “Jack” R. Horner is Regents Professor of Paleontology at Montana State University and the curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. He studied geology and paleontology at the University of Montana, Missoula, but undiagnosed dyslexia made it impossible for him to obtain a degree. He went on to become a leader in the fields of dinosaur growth and behavior. As described in his2011 TED talk biography, “Horner discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere, the first evidence of dinosaur colonial nesting, the first evidence of parental care among dinosaurs, and the first dinosaur embryos.” Horner has also discovered several new dinosaur species and worked as a scientific consultant for the Jurassic Park movies (also inspiring the movies’ main character) and for TV documentaries. He has two honorary doctorates: one awarded by the University of Montana 1986 and another by the Pennsylvania State University in 2006.
