My new book, Death, Diversion, and Departure: Voter Exit and the Persistence of Authoritarianism in Zimbabwe, examines how large-scale voter exit affects the stability of authoritarian regimes. In the book, I show that both voluntary and involuntary exit create avenues for authoritarian regimes to hold onto power. When voters are absent, either because they have […]

The war that followed lasted for two decades and was highly internationalized, with external actors and networks supporting the different warring parties.

In 1964 Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson of the Bell Telephone Laboratories discovered the almost perfect blackbody microwave glow from the Big Bang. They found this glow to have a nearly uniform temperature of 2.7255 K that did not vary with position in the sky. Since then, as a result of immense effort and ingenuity, […]

Humans occupy a peculiar place in the natural world. Coalitionary lethal attacks against members of other groups have been documented in only a relatively small number of species, including certain social insects, carnivores and primates. Likewise, only a handful of species—including bonobos and dolphins—are known to engage in some forms of peaceful cooperation between groups. […]

Imagine you are facing a weighty choice: should I follow my passion and study philosophy, despite financial insecurity and uncertain career prospects? Should I have children and give up some of the personal liberties I cherish? Should I speak up at the next board meeting about an injustice, even at the risk of being ostracized […]

![The microwave sky as seen by the ESA Planck satellite. This map shows the tiny departures from uniformity of the infant universe at about 1/1000th its present size as seen from space at microwave frequencies. These tiny fluctuations---at approximately one part in 100,000---subsequently grew to turn into the structures that we now observe in the nearby universe.
