I remember Pierre Currie and Maria Curie Sklodowska in them. It really feels nice having a partner that shares the same passion and endeavor.

A well deserved win. Even though they have debunked the myth of microfinance, a noble prize winning concept, they have made great stride in developing theories that matter.
