Peace laureate Philip Noel-Baker was by any measure a renaissance man for the 20th century. Fluent in seven languages, a successful Olympian, a close friend of Fritjof Nansen, a key player in the early years of the League of Nations, the first Professor of International Relations at the LSE and the author of several books on disarmament. Yet today he is a virtual unknown. How and why has this happened? And why is it important for us to remember the life and times of this ‘fighter for peace’?
Listen to a lecture by Professor Michael E. Cox, from London School of Economics and Political Science, where he highlights 1959 peace laureate Philip Noel-Baker and his achievements.
The lecture took place at the Norwegian Nobel Institute on 23 September, 2024.Show More

Victor Ambros had a momentous time at work following the announcement of his 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He discussed his perspectives on the future of research and scientific discoveries with colleagues and was pleasantly surprised to see fellow medicine laureate Craig Mello ay his press conference. Mello received the prize in 2006.

“It’s absolutely extraordinary.” John Jumper had just heard the news of his 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry when he spoke to the Nobel Prize’s Adam Smith. “I thought I had a 10 % chance,” he reveals. To save his nerves, his plan had been to sleep in until after the announcement, which didn’t quite work out. In the interview, he talks about being the youngest chemistry laureate in over 70 years, and about AI’s role in science. “What I love about all this is that we can draw a straight line from what we do to people being healthy.”

“Get up, you need to get up! You’ve won the Nobel Prize.” That’s how James Robinson discovered he was a 2024 economic sciences laureate, as his wife, Maria Angélica Bautista, woke him up. In this brief call with the Nobel Prize’s Adam Smith he talks about the root causes of poverty and how to build the types of political structures that enhance prosperity: “Inclusive institutions are not created by well-meaning elites. They’re created by people who fight for their rights.”

In this conversation with the Nobel Prize’s Adam Smith, recorded shortly after the prize announcement, Acemoglu also highlights the importance of democracy and his fears regarding AI, and how its misuse could result in a two-tier society.
