The Age of Impunity: How Countervailing Power Can Rebuild Accountability
April 27, 2021
It is a pleasure to be back at MIT (albeit virtually). I had a wonderful year at the university as a graduate student in 1988/9; came back as UK Foreign Secretary in 2010 to give the Compton Lecture, arguing for a national and regional political settlement to end the war in Afghanistan; and then in 2011, after the electorate relieved me of my governmental responsibilities, came back to the Political Science Department for a week of teaching. It is a source of pride to come back this year to receive the Muh Award

email Why ‘Zoom Fatigue’ Is Worse For Women
New findings may clarify why women are suffering more from Zoom fatigue, or feeling worn out from lots of online video calls.
Women report feeling more exhausted than men do after video calls, according to the first large-scale study on Zoom fatigue.
The researchers say the “self-view” display may be to blame for that exhausted feeling after a day of back-to-back online meetings.
The research shows that overall, one in seven women 13.8% compared with one in 20 men 5.5% reported feeling “very” to “extremely” fatigued after Zoom calls.
These new findings build on a paper the same researchers recently published in the journal

Good old pal Melo posted on his Facebook account: “I was scheduled for vaccination today. When I found out
na Sinovac, I declined.”
Our common friend Mike reacted and said: “I totally disagree with your decision my friend.” In response, Melo cited the e-mail letter he sent to his
mayora wherein he cited his reasons for declining the vaccine. First, the Director of the Chinese Center of Disease Control says that the efficacy of China’s vaccines is low. Second, the publication of peer-reviewed data on Sinovac is not available. Third, the Sinovac manufacturer has a record of bribery.

Technology, Mind and Behavior that explored why people might feel exhausted following video conference calls. Now, they have the data to show who is feeling the strain. For their follow-up study, the researchers surveyed 10,322 participants in February and March using their “Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue Scale” to better understand the individual differences of burnout from the extended use of video conferencing technologies during the past year.
