[edit] Only Nobelist w/o an advanced degree!

Just a clarification on Tanaka's academic credentials as the only Nobelist without an advanced degree. Francis William Aston (Nobel in 1922) did not have any degree. Although he attended a University, he was forced to withdraw for financial reasons. His only degrees were honorary doctorates awarded after he had won the Nobel for discovery of stable isotopes. This information can be found by links posted on the Aston Wiki article.
