The 2008 Abel Prize winners are John Griggs Thompson and Jacques Tits. Apparently they were involved (Thompson more so) in the classification of finite simple groups. I'd never heard of them, since I don't know anything about group theory, but it's still my duty to spread the news of mathematical accomplishments as widely as possible.

Speaking of mathematical accomplishments, congratulations on winning the student paper contest at Copper! Sorry I missed your talk, but those unfortunates of us that still have to take classes have to do what we can I guess.
