It's a Stanford comeback! Stanford (Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson) sweeps the Economics Nobel, though I am sure our rivals will point out that it is technically the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" and wasn't endowed in the original Nobel will.
Stanford is hosting a press conference at 10 am: https://news.stanford.edu/webcast/

They have won four Nobel Prizes for Economics. I doubt they will say anything negative.

Also, I didn’t realize it, but Louise Glück, who won the Nobel prize in literature is currently a visiting professor.

from the article
Quote:“Stanford’s long association with the 2020 Nobel laureate is the product of a friendship between two of the world’s most celebrated writers: Louise Glück and the famed Irish poet EAVAN BOLAND, who directed the Creative Writing Program for 24 years, before her tragic death this past spring,” said PATRICK PHILLIPS, director of the program.
Last year, Glück was the William H. Bonsall Visiting Professor in the Humanities and served as the Mohr Visiting Poet in 2011–12 and then again from 2017 until 2020.

The best part was that Milgrom's wife was overseas, so she Nest doorbell app rang her and she got to watch the whole thing as it happened.
