Berkeley Prof. Oliver Williamson Can Ring Our Nobel Any Time
Posted by on Monday, October 12, 2009 06:05 pm

Ahem, ahem. Excuse us, please. The Clog would like to take this opportunity jump on the considerable congratulatory bandwagon for Oliver Williamson, UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus, who just won a Nobel Prize for Economics: Congratulations, Professor Williamson! You’ve done us proud. Because we know pleasing the Clog was totally your aim all along.

Now that that’s out of the way, we’d like to point out that Williamson has himself jumped on a bandwagon with the win, as he is the 21st UC Berkeley faculty member to become a noble Nobel laureate. Incidentally, 25 UC Berkeley alumni have won Nobel Prizes. Williamson isn’t one of them, but still. What’s. Up.

Oh, and did we mention that two people who were formerly affiliated with UC Berkeley shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?  You go, Carol Greider and Elizabeth Blackburn.

Pound it, bros. All of you. Seriously.

So true, Krista. We should have mentioned that.

NPR did a piece on the glorious parking perks of winning Nobel prizes.
