What If Everything We Know About Gymnastics Is Wrong?
In the wake of a seismic scandal, Chellsie Memmel and other gymnasts are done with inhumane coaching and the idea that they have to peak in their teens.

TORONTO Even though 40 per cent of Ontarians have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, doctors warn that in rare cases people can still set sick while waiting for the second dose and need to continue to take precautions. Those on the frontlines say the recent uptick in vaccinations will help quell Ontario s third wave, but warn a single shot is not a silver bullet. Some of the province’s top infectious disease specialists say, anecdotally, they have seen patients come through their hospitals after getting their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The Public Health Agency of Canada says roughly 1.3 per cent of Canadians have contracted COVID-19 after receiving their first shot.
TORONTO Ontario appears to have avoided a devastating scenario in which doctors in the province’s intensive care units (ICU) could have been forced to pick and choose who gets life-saving care and who doesn’t. Less than a month ago, an Ontario Health official had warned that reaching 900 COVID-19 patients in the ICU could result in a triage protocol that would see some of the oldest and sickest patients not receive the highest level of care available. On Tuesday, Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott told CP24 that arrows are starting to point away from this worst-case scenario, despite the number of ICU patients hovering near that threshold.

TORONTO - Scientists at the Krembil Brain Institute, part of University Health Network (UHN), in collaboration with colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), have used precious and rare access to live human cortical tissue to identify functionally important features that make human neurons unique.
This experimental work is among the first of its kind on live human neurons and one of the largest studies of the diversity of human cortical pyramidal cells to date. The goal of this study was to understand what makes human brain cells human, and how human neuron circuitry functions as it does, says Dr. Taufik Valiante, neurosurgeon, scientist at the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN and co-senior author on the paper.
