President Biden’s top science adviser, Dr. Eric Lander, resigned on Monday after an internal review found credible evidence that he bullied and demeaned his staffers.
Lander’s departure from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy came hours after press secretary Jen Psaki was repeatedly asked why he was being allowed to keep his job despite Biden’s day-one vow to fire any staffers who mistreat their colleagues.
“The President accepted Dr. Eric Lander’s resignation letter this evening with gratitude for his work at OSTP on the pandemic, the Cancer Moonshot, climate change, and other key priorities,” Psaki said in a Monday night statement.
“He knows that Dr. Lander will continue to make important contributions to the scientific community in the years ahead.”
