With the announcement Saturday, November 7, that Joe Biden had won the Electoral College, the nation has elected the oldest president in US history. At 77 (78 on November 20), Biden is the same age Ronald Reagan was when he finished his second term.

But should voters be worried about a president closer to 80 than 70?

What happens to the bodies of people in their 70s is readily apparent. But what happens to their brains can be harder to see. BU Today turned to Andrew Budson, a BU School of Medicine professor of neurology, chief of cognitive and behavioral neurology at the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System, and the author of Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and What to Do About It (coauthored with Maureen K. O’Connor, a MED assistant professor of neurology). Budson was happy to talk about how aging affects memory and decision-making in older people, as long as it’s clear he is not referring specifically to the next president.

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an English adjective meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination" that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.

NEW YORK CITY — A clutch of chicken flew the coop from makeshift shack found along Queens railroad tracks, authorities said.

But it wasn't an ordinary poultry flap — instead, NYPD officers and animal advocates helped spring the chicken.

The April 8 rescue is detailed in a video released by NYPD officials. It crows about 104th Precinct cops working wing-and-wing with Animal Care Center of New York City and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals.
