“I have never seen this happen before—that they force someone to convert back to Chinese citizenship, for the convenience of the regime,” says Magnus Fiskesjö, associate professor of anthropology.

“Developing robotic technology for human spaces is a much, much harder problem than navigating on Mars in some ways,” says Guy Hoffman, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

"There are significant economies of scale and cost-related advantages from this deal, too. Overall, I see this as a nice win for both Morgan Stanley and E-Trade," says Drew Pascarella, senior lecturer of finance.

“Emissions from fossil sources are correspondingly larger than many have been estimating,” says Robert Howarth, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, about a study in which he was not involved. “I find it very convincing.”

“You can think of these as the highways where pigments can move around,” says Russell Ligon, postdoctoral associate of neurobiology and behavior.

“As a population we can accept and understand the flu and – with the exception of the 1918 influenza pandemic – basically deal with it, whereas the Sars and Mers coronaviruses have very high mortality rates and in general coronaviruses are much more unpredictable, hence the reaction,” says Gary Whittaker, professor of microbiology and immunology.

“When there’s a collapse [like that in frogs after chytrid], the focus is usually on the group that collapsed,” says Kelly Zamudio, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

“Using phenotyping robots, we can identify the best-yielding plants before they even shed pollen,” says Mike Gore, professor of plant science.

Aija Leiponen, professor of strategy & business economics, says, “If Sprint goes bankrupt, its assets will likely be sold to the other three companies, potentially enhancing the already strong dominance of the two market leaders. The creation of a third equal competitor… might actually provide a more viable alternative, and a counterweight, to Verizon and AT&T nationwide.”

Jonathan Lunine, professor of astronomy, comments that bringing samples of Mars back to Earth “will be an enormous advance in terms of the science of Mars… and [the] possibility that it might have even had life at some point.”

“Very small increases in store density can have a very high impact,” says Elena Belavina, associate professor of service operations and author of the study.

Sarah E. Kreps, a professor of government at Cornell University, considers the people deliberately spreading distortions to be practitioners of “algorithmic capitalism,” in which people scare up traffic and sell against it.
