“I had a whole list of people that I thought were going to win, and I wasn't on it.” For Joel Mokyr, the news that he was a 2025 economic sciences laureate was an unexpected surprise. Shortly after the announcement Mokyr shared his happiness with us, and recalled visiting the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm ten years ago – a time where he didn’t for a moment imagine one day he would be on the stage. “Are you kidding me? I'm an economic historian. We don't win Nobel Prizes.” Listen to the interview: #NobelPrize

“It turns out it was not a grizzly bear and she said, “You won the Nobel Prize!” Yesterday Fred Ramsdell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine but, at the time, he and his wife were completely off-grid camping in Yellowstone National Park. Unsurprisingly when they finally returned to an area with phone service the messages poured in. Ramsdell talked to us on his way home from Yellowstone, sharing how a day that began with wildlife spotting can end up with the Nobel Prize. #NobelPrize
