Introduction Ariel White is an associate professor of political science at MIT, where she studies voting and voting rights. Her recent work investigates how potential voters are affected by the criminal justice system and how they can make their way back onto the voting registries after these experiences. In this episode, President Kornbluth speaks with White about what information is actually available immediately following an election, the challenges of exit polls, and what efforts work in getting people to vote.

A team of MIT scientists have generated a detailed, three-dimensional "atlas" of the largest oxygen-deficient zones (ODZ) in the tropical Pacific. And though these ODZs make up less than 1 percent of the ocean’s total volume, they are a significant source of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.
