Megan Scheffers waited until July to celebrate Christmas with her kids after the COVID-19 pandemic kept them apart last winter, but she says decorating candy log cabins just wasn’t the same in the dead of summer. She was hoping to make up for missed traditions this year as two of her three children booked mid-December tickets to fly to Nova Scotia from the Netherlands, where they live with their father. But as the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus threatens to upend the holiday season, Scheffers said she’s worried her 12-year-old and nine-year-old may not make it to Halifax to...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “State of the Union” that the Republican Party was conducting a “bigotry campaign’ while discussing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the “jihad squad.” When asked about death threats, Omar said, “We receive too many to count. There’s a general fear that I have, my staff has, and the community at large has. We constantly hear from so many people across the country where their children’s hijabs have been pulled off. My daughters have experienced this. I have experienced this as a young person in this country. We know what...

Flight 19 was scheduled to take them due east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back over a final 120-mile leg that would return them to the naval base. They never returned.

Not Having to Earn Love. When my mother married my step father, she promised us how great our life was going to become; the first Christmas I saw presents under the tree. When it came time to open them, none of the presents had my name on them. I was not the child who belonged to the money giver. Often, children in split families perceive that they are competing for the love of their parents and may seem to have to please two people who want the child to love them more than the other. The child can grow up...

First, let’s clear up a misunderstanding. Some people think that a COVID booster is different from a COVID vaccine, but that’s not true. There is no difference between a manufacturer’s booster and its primary vaccine series. Both come from the same vial. There’s been no change in the formulas that were first authorized last year. Pfizer and Janssen boosters are even the dosed the same as a single shot from the primary series. Moderna boosters are half doses of a single shot from its primary series. Either way, the booster shot is just more of the same. If you want...

For the last 75 days, the volcano has spewed lava out of fissures, unleashed plumes of ash and toxic gasses, and acid rain. After two and a half months of non-stop volcanic eruptions, some parts of the island...

Electrodes implanted in the brain help alleviate symptoms like the intrusive tremors associated with Parkinson's disease. But current probes face limitations due to their size and inflexibility. "The brain is squishy and these implants are rigid," said Shaun Patel. About four years ago, when he discovered Charles M. Lieber's ultra-flexible alternatives, he saw the future of brain-machine interfaces. In a recent perspective titled "Precision Electronic Medicine," published in Nature Biotechnology, Patel, a faculty member at the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and Lieber, the Joshua and Beth Friedman University Professor, argue that neurotechnology is on the cusp of...
