Oh I dunno, being referred to as Dr Goldin would be a great start…

"It isn’t just the biggest pay increase in U.S. league history. It is, as far as Goldin is aware, the biggest increase any union anywhere has ever negotiated." ❗❗❗

That is the academic equivalent of Stevie Wonder recording and releasing Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of LIfe within a little over four years.

probability seems decent that she hit several billionaires with an auto-reply while siding with a labor union and you truly love to see it

For an academic, I'm guessing the appearance on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me might be right up there.

If I was an academic chasing Ws I would spend zero seconds studying economics.

Idk if anything could top the 1-2 punch of "use your academic knowledge to change many lives for the better" and "demonstrate to future generations just how interesting your field is"

Man unions are incredible. Cannot wait till I get myself in a position to join the writers union.

You’ll love it. Many focus on the pay but it’s just having a voice that is worth every penny of your dues.

"Dear Professor Goldin,

I am Nneka Ogwumike, president of the WNBA Players' Association. If you're not too busy, would you like to help us seize the means of our production?"

What is it about women winning the nobel economics (memorial pedantpedantpedant) prize all being good eggs? Goldin and Ostrom; not too up on Duflo tbh, but seems like a good fit.

Think I’m going to recommend to the players in Liga F, or their agents, to reach out to her.

The only one I can think of is the historian of Puerto Rico and former University of Connecticut graduate student who became the historical advisor for Bad Bunny‘s most recent album.
