Please add any interviews/articles/videos by the recipients about their work.

I found this for Professor Deepak Dhar; 'Earthquakes, avalanches and market crashes have some things in common' - https://www.nature.com/articles/d44151-026-00151-4

His bio on wikipedia is quite impressive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Dhar

Would be nice to have Physicists/Researchers here, chime in on all the recipients work.
