“A future probe could be designed to detect this signal extremely well, suggesting that a future interstellar mission would be able to continuously measure the density of space to even higher precision than Voyager 1,” says Stella Ocker, an astronomy doctoral student. 

Louis Aronne, professor of metabolic research at Weill Cornell Medical College, says only with long-term use can researchers learn if new drugs control the medical consequences of obesity. 

“It’s the engineering gift to science that keeps on giving,” says Stella Ocker, an astronomy doctoral student, about Voyager 1.

“It’s very hard to reduce wages once you’ve started paying someone at a certain level,” says Linda Barrington, executive director of the Institute for Compensation Studies.

Eswar Prasad, professor of economics and international trade policy, “outlines the challenge China faces in balancing its desire for control over its tech entrepreneurs with its need for innovation and growth.” 

“Nowhere in the statute – nowhere in the crime of murder – is there a requirement that the prosecution produce a body,” says Randy Zelin, adjunct professor of law. “It is certainly possible to meet the elements of the crime without a body.” 

Natalie Mahowald, professor in engineering, says that the burning of fossil fuels is making the last decade “a much hotter time period for much of the globe than the decades” before. 

Drew Harvell, professor emeritus in ecology and evolutionary biology, says that breeding nearly extinct animals in captivity is going to be “part of our toolkit to handle some of the unexpected damage from climate change.” 

“This species was known only from a few specimens collected in 1968,” says Kelly Zamudio professor of ecology and evolutionary biology who collaborated on the study with biologists in Brazil. “We didn’t have a DNA sequence from it — we still don’t — because nobody took tissue samples back then. But there are other species of Megaelosia, and we had sequences for all of those in our extensive database.” 

“So one of the concerns definitely with this bill is that it seems to just lump them all together and treat them all similarly when there's a whole bunch of different groups in each sector,” says Rick Geddes professor of policy analysis and management. “I think it's going to make it more difficult to get this passed politically, just because of all the different stakeholder groups that are involved in each of those sectors.” 

Researchers from Cornell and Boston Children’s Hospital surveyed a representative sample of more than 1,000 Americans finding 20 percent thought they were strongly protected after receiving just one dose of a two-dose vaccine.
