President-elect Joe Biden had a little bit of a problem dealing with the English language when he announced his White House science team on Saturday.
He used the verb will when he meant to say is. I ve always said that the Biden-Harris administration will also going to lead, and we re going to lead with science and truth, Biden said, according to the video on CSPAN. We believe in both, said Biden.
As he said this, Biden turned to look at Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, who was standing behind him. He laughed. She returned the laugh and said: That s right.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have discovered a new genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays and malformations of the brain, heart, and facial features.
