At the University of Toronto, biophysicist Martin Yaffe has spent more than a decade developing a technique known as digital mammography....

Speaking during a press call Monday, a senior Biden administration official declined “to talk about the particular challenges that President Biden will lay out for President Putin” during their virtual meeting scheduled for Tuesday. He did, however, indicate a preference for providing military assistance to Ukraine and members of the NATO Western military alliance along with economic measures targeted at Russia in the event that hostilities break out. “I would say that the United States is not seeking to end up in a circumstance in which the focus of our countermeasures is the direct use of military force as opposed to a combination of support for the Ukrainian military, strong economic countermeasures and the substantial increase in support and capability to our NATO allies to ensure that they remain safe,” the official said....

Trump’s baseless challenges of the election outcome likely emboldened the massive crowd that stormed the Capitol and cemented Trump’s standing in the Republican Party—on full display as thousands of his followers stormed the Capitol, delaying Biden’s election certification for several hours. Several Republican lawmakers had announced that they planned to side with him—raising objections to the certification of Biden as president, despite certification of votes in all states.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Biden was asked by CNN’s MJ Lee about how badly Putin is being informed by his Russian advisers. “There’s a lot of speculation, but he seems to be—I’m not saying this with a certainty—he seems to be self-isolating, and there’s some indication that he has fired or put under house arrest some of his advisers,” Biden said after he spoke about steps to decrease U....
