President Joe Biden’s top science adviser, Eric Lander, resigned on Monday evening following reports of his bullying and mistreatment of subordinates.
Good. Biden claimed there would be zero tolerance for this sort of behavior, so it was disingenuous for the White House to say they would try to deal with this via “corrective measures”. No, Lander had to go.The resignation came despite initial insistence from the White House that Lander would remain in his post while corrective actions and remediations were applied to assure a better workplace environment at the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

The White House initially stood by him despite the president’s zero-tolerance policy and numerous credible reports of misconduct.
