Librarian finds ‘preposterous number’ of fake references in paper from Springer Nature journal Gunnar Ridderström/Pexels As a hospital librarian, Jessica Waite is typically successful at tracking down elusive articles for clinicians at Royal Hallamshire Hospital in England. So when a colleag…

Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has the most medals of any individual with six. They're all gold. It's the first time an athlete has six gold medals in one Winter Olympics.

Norway's Sturla Holm Laegreid is second with five medals. None of them are gold.
