Jeff Marquise is taking small steps in distance, but he's making huge strides for science.Eight years ago, Marquise was paralyzed from a mountain biking accident.“It was a gap jump and I sort of just rolled over it and went over the handlebars on the other side of the jump and came down right on my head,” he recalls. “I sustained a C5 and C6 burst fracture.” Those injuries left Marquise unable to walk. Now, with the help of new technology and old-school physical training, he is leaving his wheelchair and walking again. “No one thought I could stand up on my own or step on my own,” he says. “So, being able to do it with the implant has brought some hope back to the equation.” The implant is an epidural stimulator that’s embedded near the spinal cord. Electricity then triggers the nervous system which can help restore brain-to-spine connectivity. Researchers at the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center at the University of Louisville are calling this a scientific breakthrough.“It gives us hope that we know now that the spinal cord has this capability,” says Claudia Angeli, Ph.D., of the University of Louisville. “So, it’s a matter of being able to tap into that.”While Angeli is not calling this a quick fix for paralysis, she is finding excellent results.“You can actually see that activation of the muscles,” she says. “It’s the spinal cord responding to information. So, the more activity the more responsive or the more excitable the spinal cord is.”That excitement can be felt across the country.A recent study by the Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation discovered that there are nearly 1 in 50 people living with paralysis in the United States.That breaks down to about 5.4 million people, or the combined populations of Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.“It is life changing,” Marquise says. “But I’m always careful not to oversell it. It’s not walking around the house doing chores.”While being brutally honest, Marquise says he’s also very happy to get back on his feet again. “When you first get hurt, a lot of people are told that they are not going to be able to walk again,” he says. “So, being able to do it in this setting has brought a ray a hope for me and other people.” 2235

In the words of Taylor Swift, internet trolls need to calm down.The "ME!" singer has dropped the second single her new album.The song is a clapback to bullies on the internet titled, "You Need To Calm Down."Swift opens up the otherwise bubbly tune by singing, "You are somebody that I don't know / But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón."At the end of the verse, she tacks on the lyric, "snakes and stones never broke my bones" -- a nod to her previous album, "Reputation," in which snakes played a major role.The chorus gets straight to the song's title with the lyrics, "You need to calm down, you're being too loud."But instead of attacking her trolls, Swift sounds concerned for them.She sings, "Hey, are you okay?" in the first verse and follows it up in the second verse with, "Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?"The lyric generating the most buzz comes about halfway through the song and solidifies Swift's support for the LGBTQ community: "And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate / 'Cause shade never made anybody less gay."Swifties, as the singer's devotees are called, will have to wait until Monday, June 17 for the accompanying music video.In an Instagram Live on Thursday, Swift promised the video will be "worth the wait.""You Need to Calm Down" is one of 18 tracks on "Lover," which releases on August 23. And while Swift described the album as romantic, she insisted that it's not going to be filled with upbeat songs."I think you can find romance in loneliness or sadness or going through a conflict or dealing with things in your life," Swift said. "It just looks at those things with a very romantic gaze." 1674
