An excerpt:
“(Sanctions) would have to be very damaging to Russia to be meaningful,” he said. “It would seem to me that [NATO nations] should make the sanctions contingent, because if you go ahead and put sanctions on before an invasion, how does that deter an invasion?”

Why early-career researchers should step up to the peer-review plate
January 31, 2022
Cassidy Sugimoto, professor and Tom and Marie Patton School Chair in the School of Public Policy, was mentioned in the article, 'Why early-career researchers should step up to the peer-review plate', published on January 31, 2022 on Nature.
An excerpt:
The effects of this older, predominantly male reviewer pool trickle down into manuscript acceptance rates, according to a paper posted on the preprint server bioRxiv (and thus not yet peer reviewed itself)4. Information scientist Cassidy Sugimoto at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and her colleagues analysed thousands of eLife submissions, and found that women, as well as researchers who were not from North America or Europe, were less likely to be editors, reviewers and authors. When editors and reviewers happened to match the gender or geography of authors, acceptance rates went up.

NATO's on Notice in Ukraine Crisis: What's Next?
January 29, 2022
Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was quoted in several articles regarding his recent trip to Ukraine amid the standoff with Russia.
An excerpt from the article, 'NATO's on notice in Ukraine crisis: What's next?' published January 29, 2022 on DW.com:
One of those options, Breedlove said, is something he would have already liked to see when he was NATO's top military commander from 2013 to 2016, during which time Russia invaded Ukraine. Noting that the US and other nations are now sending additional fighter jets for the air policing missions that cover the Baltic states and much of NATO's other territory, Breedlove argued that the time had come to upgrade that function and give it some teeth.

Former NATO Commander: Ukraine Crisis Shows U.S. Needs Firmer Approach to Russian Incursions
January 27, 2022
Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the story, 'Former NATO Commander: Ukraine Crisis Shows U.S. Needs Firmer Approach to Russian Incursions', published January 27, 2022 on GlobalAtlanta.com.
An excerpt:
Speaking at a Jan. 21 program with new World Affairs Council of Atlanta President Rickey Bevington and using detailed digital maps to paint a picture of Russia’s military encirclement of Ukraine, Mr. Breedlove said Russia is continuing to push the envelope mainly because the West has failed to mount a convincing response to previous incursions. Russia took over two regions of Georgia in 2008 and then annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014, facing little substantive response.

Destructive malware is back in Ukraine. Will it usher in cyberconflict?
January 21, 2022
Nadiya Kostyuk, as assistant professor in School of Public Policy, was quoted in the article, 'Destructive malware is back in Ukraine. Will it usher in cyberconflict?', published on January 21, 2022 in README.
The article discusses Ukraine and recent developments within the global cybersecurity community.
An excerpt:
Nadiya Kostyuk, assistant professor of cybersecurity policy at the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, said that although Ukraine has a reputation for being a “testing ground” for sophisticated malware, the recent combination of web defacements and fake ransomware is unlikely to play a major role in the wider conflict, in part because such attacks are difficult to pin on Russia and are unlikely to cross any red lines.

The article discusses the newest Matrix movie, The Matrix Resurrections.

And I think that’s the ultimate science fiction message.”Published in: Wired

How Identity Shapes Science

Cassidy R. Sugimoto, chair of the School of Public Policy, was quoted in the article "How Identity Shapes Science," published Jan. 4, 2022, in Inside Higher Education. The article discussed a paper Sugimoto co-authored on diversity in scientific research.
An excerpt:
Co-author Cassidy Sugimoto, Professor and Tom and Marie Patton School Chair in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology, said she hopes to see various kinds of institutions “more aggressively pursue diversity and justice initiatives.” This could include increasing targeted hires at colleges and universities, changing federal agencies’ composition of funding portfolios, and “radically recomposing reviewing bodies for publication, awards and funding.”
She added, “Too many initiatives pay lip service to intersectional equity but do not invest the resources necessary for real change to occur.”
Sugimoto's work was also mentioned in the article, "How Identity Shapes Science," published Jan. 4 by Times Higher Education. That article is at https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/female-and-minority-researchers-focus-less-popular-topics.

Rivian Will Bring More Climate Jobs to Georgia, Even as the State Lags on Climate Policy
December 20, 2021
Dan Matisoff, associate professor in the School of Public Policy was quoted in "Rivian Will Bring More Climate Jobs to Georgia, Even as the State Lags on Climate Policy," published Dec. 20, 2021, on WABE.com.
Matisoff discussed the potential environmental impacts from the newly announced Rivian eclectic vehicle plant in Georgia.
An excerpt:
More EVs on the road means cleaner air locally, which Matisoff said is a good reason to promote them. But “most economists would agree that a lot of the incentives placed for electric vehicles are maybe not the most efficient way to reduce carbon dioxide,” he said.
Far more effective to reduce national and global emissions, Matisoff said, are policies like the Biden administration’s move to switch the federal government’s fleet — some 600,000 cars and trucks — to zero-emission vehicles.

Who Killed the Robot Dog?
December 14, 2021
Jay Telotte, professor emeritus in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, was quoted in "Who Killed the Robot Dog?" published Dec. 14, 2021, in Wired.
Telotte, a film scholar with a particular interest in how robots and other technologies have been portrayed in film and animation, discussed the history of robot pets going back to a 1927 Disney cartoon.
An excerpt:
“The Mechanical Cow” imagines a robot bovine on wheels with a broom for a tail skating around delivering milk to animal friends. The worst that could happen is your mechanical farm could go haywire, as in the 1930s cartoon “Technoracket,” but even then robot animals presented no real threat to their biological counterparts. “In fact, many of the ‘animaloid’ visions in movies and TV over the years have been in cartoons and comic narratives,” says Telotte, where “the laughter they generate is typically assuring us that they are not really dangerous.”

China Attacks US Diplomatic Boycott of Winter Games as 'Travesty' of Olympic Spirit
December 8, 2021
Fei Ling Wang, professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, appeared on the RN Breakfast program, a production of the Australian Broadcasting Corp., on Dec. 8, 2021, to discuss the U.S. decision to stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in China.
Wang, an expert on China, discussed the U.S. decision, the possibility other nations may follow suit, and China's reaction.
An excerpt:
"China does have a right to be angry. But I think the anger is a little bit exaggerated because China itself did participate in similar politicization of the Olympics back in 1980, for example. So I think this time the American move actually is pretty major and highly symbolic."
