This is completely unacceptable @potus: @EricLander46 must either step down or be fired
Biden’s top science adviser bullied and demeaned subordinates, according to White House investigation politi.co/34zJyS6 via @politico
As I wrote yesterday - he never should have been selected. And he was on notice basically to improve his behavior and he completely failed at this. This is a shameful thing for the scientific community.

Dear @EricLander46 - do the right thing and step down.
Dear @potus - do the right thing and the thing you promised to do to people who work for you and mistreat others. Fire @EricLander46
@EricLander46 @POTUS Dear @potus - you have a bully who cannot seem to change, with a track record of sexism, racism, and sucking up to sexual predators in charge of science in the US. This is not acceptable.
Well, this is way way worse than initial impressions. See the-scientist.com/news-opinion/eric-lander-allegedly-bullied-disrespected-staff-69682 by @Scatter_Cushion
And see the @politico article by @AlexThomp that the Scientist article is based on politico.com/news/2022/02/07/eric-lander-white-house-investigation-00006077. .
It is very clear. Eric Lander has to step down or be fired by @potus. His behavior is completely unacceptable.
Here again is the petition I started - "Eric Lander must be removed as President's Science Advisor & Director of White House OSTP" change.org/p/president-of-the-united-states-eric-lander-must-be-removed-as-president-s-science-advisor-director-of-white-house-ostp
