BREAKING: Biden science adviser Eric Lander resigns after violating workplace policy

Details:

Lander was scheduled to testify before the House's health subcommittee on biomedical research on Tuesday, but his appearance was canceled late Monday.In a note to OSTP staff over the weekend, Lander said: "It's my responsibility to set a respectful tone for our community. It’s clear that I have not lived up to this responsibility. ... It is never acceptable for me to speak that way.

A White House spokesperson told Axios on Monday that White House leadership met with Lander to "discuss the seriousness of the matter and the President’s expectation that all staff interactions be conducted with respect." "We take this incredibly seriously, and we are taking swift action to ensure that it doesn’t happen again," the spokesperson added.
