The U.S. formally accused Myanmar of committing genocide against its Rohingya population. The declaration “adds another layer to the already quite damning accusations against Myanmar for atrocities committed against the Rohingya,” says Oumar Ba, assistant professor of government. 

“We are behind the eight ball, to put it mildly,” says Edwin Cowen, professor of civil and environmental engineering. “I would have loved to see policy help incentivize rooftop solar 15 years ago instead of five years ago in the commercial space. There’s still a tremendous amount of work to do.” 

“On the world stage, China appears to be the only friend that Russia has left. But it would be a mistake to overstate the strength of such seeming Sino-Russian friendship,” says Allen Carlson, associate professor of government. “President Xi Jinping is highly unlikely to allow China to get dragged into the conflict through providing direct military support to Russia.” 

Sarah Kreps, professor of government, discusses Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and whether an agreement between the countries is possible.  

“The war and its spillover effects substantially intensify the conundrum the Fed already faced about how aggressively to tighten [policy],” says Eswar Prasad, professor of international trade policy. “It’s a tough call.” 

“The biggest news is that the oxygen abundance in this comet which everyone thought was ridiculously large isn’t quite as large as we thought,” says Jonathan Lunine, one of the paper’s co-authors and department chair of astronomy.

“China will not save the sinking boat of the Russian economy,” says Eswar Prasad, professor of economics and international trade policy. But, he says, China could “perhaps allow it to float a little longer and sink a little more slowly.” 

“It’s the gamification of labor, where the pressure for output is exhilarating because it’s tangible and trackable,” says Lee Humphreys, professor of communication. 

“If you can make it collective bargaining where everybody on the company side and everybody on the union side are trying to solve the difference, that’s a whole lot better than having all of the different owners pushing their own buttons and all of the different agents also trying to change it,” says Art Wheaton, director of labor studies.

“If you expand your circle a little, more people are willing to help than we think and that unburdens those closest to us,” says Vanessa Bohns, associate professor of the ILR School.

“When Chrome is up-to-date, it does a pretty good job of blocking these attacks. Once it is no longer updated, it becomes vulnerable to new threats,” says Vitaliy Shmatikov, professor of computer science. 

Teresa Jordan, professor of engineering, says that urban areas face greater challenges as “You’re making holes where probably, in a populated city, there are already lots of other facilities using the area under the ground. They’ve already buried all sorts of stuff under the sidewalks, under buildings. To go in and just start digging, is a huge organizational challenge.”
