The model can be populated with information from any province or country to decide the vaccination strategy that would prevent the most COVID-19 deaths in that population.
COVID-19 testing for individuals with no COVID symptoms is now available at some pharmacies in Ontario and Alberta.
Cindy Yang is the winner of the inaugural Raymond Laflamme and Janice Gregson Graduate Scholarship for Women in Quantum Information Science.
Yang, a new Master of Applied Science student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (quantum information) has a passion for acoustic and superconducting waves who discovered quantum information science while learning how to make photonic devices. She was instantly intrigued by the possibilities that quantum research offered her.

A new app for Android phones can warn users when they are about to forget their device.

But not anymore.
While vaping increased significantly among Canadian youth over a six-year period, cigarette use remained stable or decreased, a University of Waterloo study says.
