You asked: Does climate change trigger earthquakes? We answered. 

Wolfgang Kaehler/Getty Images; VoxThis and more reader questions on climate change, explained. Climate change is complex and will play out differently depending on where you are (and who you are). It’s confusing! It’s contradictory! And what am I to do? EVs are expensive, my house leaks heat, and my AC is nonexistent. It’s hot, it’s freezing, it’s hot, aarrggggghgbkjdhfsj! Our world’s climate is changing in ways that well-meaning scientists are... Read more ›

Are Biden and the Democrats finally turning on Israel?

“It’s not you, it’s me.” | GPO/Handout/Anadolu/Getty ImagesBiden’s new plan to build a pier on the Gaza coast seems to say yes. The continued military aid to Israel says otherwise. For years, there have been signs that the Democratic Party’s historic support for Israel might be wavering. Joe Biden’s staunch support for Israel after October 7 seemed to suggest that this theory was overblown — that when push came to... Read more ›

While running a microfinance company working across rural India in 2014, neuroscientist Tara Thiagarajan had a free Sunday, a portable EEG headset, and a question: What is modernization doing to our brains?

Biden’s very populist State of the Union address

Biden addressing Congress Thursday night. | Shawn Thew/EPA/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesThe president is getting walloped on the economy. Here’s how he tried to change that. The state of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is weak. The president entered Thursday night’s State of the Union address with a 56 percent disapproval rating, which is roughly the same as Donald Trump’s was in the immediate aftermath of January 6. In national polls, Biden... Read more ›

Why financial literacy education in the US sucks

Blame the Space Race (kind of). It’s a common refrain: School is full of useless (if interesting!) lessons, but we learn next to nothing about how to manage our finances. It’s true that many Americans lack basic financial knowledge, which is a contributing factor to the money challenges — high levels of debt, insufficient savings, poor investment decisions — that a lot of us face. But it’s not necessarily true... Read more ›

Researchers use online opt-in surveys all the time. Should they?

Search around for ways to make a little extra money online, and you might find yourself at one of many sites that offer to pay you to take surveys. There’s Swagbucks, SurveyJunkie, InboxDollars, and KashKick, for instance. On each of these sites,... Read more ›

Why US elections only give you two choices

We don’t like the two-party system. So why do we have it? America’s two-party system is widely hated. Very few Americans think the two major parties do an adequate job representing them, and most say more parties are needed. But when it comes time to vote, very few people vote for third-party candidates. Often, this is explained as either a failure of will (the country would have third parties if... Read more ›
