Two UChicago Genius Grants

One of the greatest things about going to school at UChicago is the amount of insanely smart people who spend much of their days here. It's really amazing how many unbelievably talented people (students and faculty) there are. Two faculty members, Olufunmilayo Falusi Olopade (for cancer research) and Kevin Murphy (for economics) just won $500,000 in genius grants (each) from the MacArthur Foundation. Read Steven Levitt's (of Freakonomics fame) blog entry about Kevin.

Congrats to them both!
