FORMER Vice President and candidate of the Democrats Party in the United States, Joe Biden has received endorsement of eighty-one Nobel Laureates for the office of the US President in the forthcoming poll.
The renowned elites in an open letter on Wednesday anchored their decision on Biden’s known character of ‘teachability’, citing the former vice president’s “willingness to listen to experts” and his “deep appreciation for using science to find solutions.”
The Nobel laureates, winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Medicine and Physics, stressed the importance of elected leaders making decisions based on science, particularly during a global pandemic.
“I support Joe Biden because of his long record of making policy, informed by science, to deal with large, complicated issues like cancer, climate change and nuclear proliferation,” said Barry Barish, the 2017 Nobel Prize winner in physics.
“More immediately, we absolutely must elect Joe with his science-based approach to successfully lead us out of the Covid-19 pandemic”
