Sir Keith Peters received his M.B. B.Ch. in Wales. He was a MRC clinical research fellow at the University of Birmingham and National Institute for Medical Research, London. He served as a lecturer in medicine at the Welsh National School of Medicine, honorary senior registrar in medicine at United Cardiff Hospitals, and professor of medicine and director of the department of medicine at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School. He is currently the Regius Professor of Physics and Head of the Clinical School at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Christ's College. He was honored as Knight Bachelor in 1993 and FRS in 1995. He is a member of the Academia Europaea, Association of Physicians, Association of American Physicians, British Society for Immunology, European Society of Clinical Investigation, Scandinavian Society for Immunology, and a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences. Sir Keith Peters is the preeminent physician-scientist in the UK. His principle scientific contributions relate to kidney disease and, in particular, the immunopathology and therapy for nephritis. He utilized the technique of plasmaphoresis and demonstrated its usefulness in the arrest of certain immunologically related diseases. His scientific contributions to medicine earned him election to the Royal Society, an unusual honor for one who is predominately a clinical scientist. This honor represents only one aspect of Sir Keith's contribution to medicine and science. He has trained many of the current leaders in UK academic medicine and has transformed the Cambridge Medical Schools, not only by the erection of new buildings but by elegant and successful recruitment to Cambridge of scientifically committed physicians. The intellectual merger of medicine in Cambridge with the existing strengths in the biological sciences has now positioned Cambridge as the leading academic medical center in Europe. That he serves on the Gairdner Foundation Award Committee and the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation reflects the high opinion that Sir Keith enjoys in this country as well. He was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1999. | |

Christopher Pethick is a theoretical physicist of remarkable breadth and depth, whose seminal contributions to neutron star, ultracold atomic gas, and condensed matter physics have been recognized by his Onsager Prize for statistical physics and Bethe Prize for theoretical astrophysics. He gave the first consistent description of neutron stars, from their low density crust to their superfluid interior, their behavior during stellar collapse and subsequent cooling, and identified compact X-ray sources as accreting neutron stars. He provided the microscopic basis of our current understanding of liquid helium-3 at nonzero temperature, showed how related ideas could be used to understand the transport properties of heavy-fermion materials, and in a very different context, quark matter at high densities. Recently he has bridged the gap between atomic and condensed-matter physics by his imaginative application of condensed matter concepts to ultracold atomic gases. His major influence on Scandinavian science has been recognized by his election to the Royal Danish and Norwegian Academies of Sciences and Letters. | |

Thomas Piketty is the author of numerous articles published in journals such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Political Economy, the American Economic Review and the Review of Economic Studies, and of a dozen books. He has done major historical and theoretical work on the interplay between economic development and the distribution of income and wealth. In particular, he is the initiator of the recent literature on the long run evolution of top income shares in national income (now available in the World Top Incomes Database). He is also the author of Capital in the 21st Century. These works have led to radically question the optimistic relationship between development and inequality posited by Kuznets, and to emphasize the role of political and fiscal institutions in the historical evolution of income and wealth distribution. | |
