In an op-ed in Fortune, Baobao Zhang, Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in government discusses recent widespread criticism of the polling industry following the 2020 election.
“In many respects, the limits of polling are shining through," Zhang writes in the piece. "But what is often overlooked is why. By not taking a healthy look at the limits of polling and the reasons behind them, and discussing ways to address the issue, critics risk delegitimizing an entire field that provides immense value to our country and world at large."

Artist concept of the gas giant planet WD 1856 b orbiting a white dwarf star. The planet is 7 times larger than the Earth-sized white dwarf it orbits. WD 1856 b has methane and hazes in its atmosphere, which would give it a similar color to Saturn's moon Titan. The white dwarf formed from a star that died 5 billion years ago, and has been cooling ever since, giving it an orange colour similar to the Sun.
