In December 2021, President Biden warned President Vladimir Putin of Russia that any incursion into Ukrainian territory would entail “economic consequences like none he has ever seen,” wrote Nicholas Mulder, assistant professor of history and Milstein Faculty Fellow, in a New York Times guest essay.
“America and its European allies followed through on this threat with the largest scale economic sanctions effort in recent history,” Mulder wrote in the piece. “One year later, the Russian economy has weathered the shock much better than expected.”

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.
