Va. Governor Pushes Tweaks to Controversial Ultrasound Bill

Scientists and professionals are prone to verbalize nouns, and even adjectives. A few years back, “necropsy” and “biopsy” were nouns only; nowadays, due to popular demand, no doubt, they are also verbs. “Ultrasound,” “microchip,” and “aliquot” have not yet reached that status, so it is still incorrect to ultrasound or microchip a dog, or aliquot a solution.
