‘I am deeply sorry for my conduct’: Biden's top science adviser apologizes to staff politi.co/3AZ5B0x via @politico
See this from April for some comments about why Lander was a bad choice twitter.com/phylogenomics/status/1385587940416364544
It’s not that complicated - Eric Lander is not the right person for this job - he has a history of supporting bad people and mistreating good ones and making bad decisions - it is time for @POTUS to replace him
So @potus. Are you saying “You know what science needs right now? A white power hungry bully who endorses racists (eg Watson), hangs out w/ sexual predators (Epstein) and belittles the accomplishments of women (eg CRISPR heroes) and embarrasses the White House”

Dear @EricLander46 - for the good of the country and the good of science, please, step down and let someone else, lead OSTP.
Dear @POTUS - if he does not step down, please replace him.
