"Throughout history, scientists have made incredible inventions and discoveries. When you think of famous scientists of the past and present, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, or Albert Einstein might come to mind. But did you know that each of these scientists had a disability? Thomas Edison was deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other. Nikola Tesla had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Albert Einstein, arguably one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, was dyslexic."
