They mention just 1% have won Nobel Prizes, and then in the next sentence say "For every Lisa Randall who revolutionizes theoretical physics, there are many dozens who fall far short of their potential."
Lisa Randall didn't win a Nobel Prize in physics (yet), though she is in he National Academy of Sciences. So I guess you must have one or the other honour to be judged a success.
Meanwhile her collaborator Raman Sundrum (of the Randall-Sundrum model, which Lisa Randall is most famous for) is neither a Nobel laureate nor on the National Academy of Sciences.
But one day if he does win the Nobel, his Success status changes overnight?
