“People go to Sarah’s platforms for the science but stay for her authenticity."

Biologist @SarahHabibiPhD is a GTA TikTok star working to make science cool. torstar.co/YRYo50GwXJE
The 28-year-old, a widely published researcher in the field of novel pharmaceutical development for parasitic infections, is breaking not only the scientist mold but also the internet. thestar.com/life/together/…
As @science.bae, the TikTok and Instagram star, who has 116K and 24K followers, respectively, has been a social media sensation since she set out to make science cool for kids. thestar.com/life/together/…
“Being a woman of Middle Eastern descent in STEM, who presents herself in a female way, makes me stand out,” she says. thestar.com/life/together/…
Growing up, Habibi was self-conscious about having a lisp. After being teased about it on TikTok, she incorporated the hashtags #thience and #thientist.

“I figured, why not embrace this and make it part of who I am.” thestar.com/life/together/…

#StarExclusive: Edward Rogers fought plans to keep Raptors’ Masai Ujiri, but was thwarted by MLSE head, sources say.

Story by @christinedobby and @SmithRaps.

thestar.com/business/2021/…
New details have emerged suggesting that behind the scenes the former chair of Rogers Communications Inc. tried to sabotage a high-performing executive with whom he had grown disenchanted. thestar.com/business/2021/…
After weeks of negotiations that began in mid-July, both MLSE chair Tanenbaum and Bell were on board with offering Ujiri a sweetened package that included incentive pay tied to a future increase in value of the Raptors. thestar.com/business/2021/…

“Is my daughter’s pain being ignored? Is her history being erased?”

This Canadian mom has spoken out about her daughter’s death for years. A new publication ban means the story can no longer be shared. torstar.co/QZqc50GwVLm
Her daughter’s story is known around the world. You’d recognize her name if it could be printed.

But — after years of impassioned advocacy — the teen’s mother can no longer share her daughter’s story and continue her legacy. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
The circumstances of the teen’s death led to legal reform and social change, and her name titles an active non-profit organization working with schools, students and teachers to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

With one year until Toronto’s next civic election, a new poll suggests Mayor John Tory is on track to cruise into a third term — if he wants it. torstar.co/R0EM50GwVFN
Tory, 67, told the Star on Friday he is busy fighting the pandemic and still has not turned his mind to the election — but he will soon. thestar.com/news/city_hall…
“The main deciding points have to do with family — it’s true of anyone in public life that it has a huge impact on your family, so I’ve always said that’s a very important consideration for me from day one and it will be again," said Tory. thestar.com/news/city_hall…

Coun. Joe Cressy, one of Toronto’s most prominent leaders through the COVID-19 pandemic, says he’s stepping away from elected office to be a good father and partner and will look for other meaningful work outside of city hall. torstar.co/qauX50GwVEy
The 37-year-old told Star reporters @jpags and @dmrider that he does not plan to run for council in the 2022 election — not for his Spadina—Fort York seat, and not for mayor. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
Cressy's name being floated in public and political circles and a poll conducted this week for the Star by Forum shows strong name recognition against Mayor John Tory. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

School officials, city and police are bracing for a second “fake” homecoming party within the University District.

Out-of-control, off-campus university parties plagued by drunken violence have been a recurring theme across Canada this fall. torstar.co/zk5y50GwM8j
Police, school officials and psychologists think pandemic backlash and the growing use of live photo- and video-sharing features on social media networks are fuelling wilder events than in the past. thestar.com/news/canada/20…
They’ve also noted a “double-cohort effect.”

Homecoming parties have been primarily a rite of passage among freshmen, this year’s crowds include scores of second-year students who missed the experience last year because of COVID-19. thestar.com/news/canada/20…
