Late recognition:
Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was once invited to present his findings about his discoveries regarding the heredity of pea plants. After his lecture, Mendel expected his audience to share his inner excitement he had felt while conducting his experiment. At that moment a man from the audience whispered.
“Eight years spent in watching ordinary peas grow, what a waste of time!” It took sixteen years after his death realize the significance of what had discovered.
