It isn't too hard to find examples of scientists who were ridiculed for their ideas and eventually win the Noble prize:
>...Stanley B. Prusiner, a maverick American scientist who endured derision from his peers for two decades as he tried to prove that bizarre infectious proteins could cause brain diseases like “mad cow disease” in people and animals, has been awarded the ultimate in scientific vindication: the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology.
>...Prusiner said the only time he was hurt by the decades of skepticism “was when it became personal.” After publication of an especially ridiculing article in Discover magazine 10 years ago, for example - which Prusiner Monday called the “crown jewel” of all the derogatory articles ever written about him - he stopped talking to the press. The self-imposed media exile became increasingly frustrating to science journalists over the past decade as his theories gained scientific credibility.
>....The recent 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Daniel Schechtman, experienced a situation even more vexing. When in 1982, thirty years ago, he made his discovery of quasicrystals, the research institution that hosted him fired him because he « threw discredit on the University with his false science ».
>...He was the subject of fierce resistance from one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, Linius Pauling, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and Peace Nobel Laureate. In 1985, he wrote: Daniel Schechtman tells non-sence. There are no quasi-crystals, there are only quasi-scientists!
An example that is pretty well known is Barry Marshall
>...In 1984, 33-year-old Barry Marshall, frustrated by responses to his work, ingested Helicobacter pylori, and soon developed stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting -- all signs of the gastritis he had intended to induce.
>...Marshall wrote in his Nobel Prize autobiography, "I was met with constant criticism that my conclusions were premature and not well supported. When the work was presented, my results were disputed and disbelieved, not on the basis of science but because they simply could not be true."
It was Max Plank who said "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." - so this isn't a new issue and things are probably better now than they were in the past.
