When, if ever, will @DrMANowak and @harvard do something about their unethical association with rapist Jeffrey Epstein - they took his money, propped up his reputation, and now? crickets - read more from @xeni about this:
@DrMANowak @Harvard @xeni For example: Traulsen and Nowak, 2006: pnas.org/content/103/29… The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University is sponsored by Jeffrey Epstein.
And also Bach 2015 "I am grateful for generous support by and discussions with Dietrich Dörner, Martin Nowak and Jeffrey Epstein."
And Nowak et al. 2010: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.109… This work was supported by the John Templeton Foundation, the National Science Foundation/National Institutes of Health joint program in mathematical biology (NIH grant R01GM078986) and by Jeffrey Epstein.
And Allen et al. 2012: scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/… "This work was supported by the John Templeton Foundation, the National Science Foundation/National Institutes of Health joint program in mathematical biology (NIH Grant R01GM078986) and by Jeffrey Epstein."
And Nathanson et al. 2009
So @harvard and @DrMANowak took tons of money from Epstein, much of it AFAIK after he was convicted as a sexual predator and they keep thanking him and thanking him and no apology, no restitution, to return of money - nothing - what a disgrace
@Harvard @DrMANowak And I note - if you look at @DrMANowak's "Program in Evolutionary Dynamics" website today ped.fas.harvard.edu you would get the impression Jeffrey Epstein was never involved cc: @xeni @monaeltahawy
A search of their site reveals no hits to "Epstein"
But if you use Google search for site:ped.fas.harvard.edu epstein google.com/search?hl=en&a… you in fact find a lot of hits mostly to papers thanking Jeffrey Epstein for funding
Not completely scrubbed but my guess is they have tried to remove any and all references to Epstein while not saying anything, not apologizing, not doing anything
Fortunately, however, we have the internet archive archive.org which has 234 captures of this site: web.archive.org/web/2011051500… and many of these archives put Jeffrey Epstein in a much more prominent position
For example check out this one from June 2011: web.archive.org/web/2011060421… where Epstein's "Profiles in Science" is featured on the front page
And in 2008 Jeffrey Epstein is lauded on the front page
Oh and wait - this is rich - @harvard's Program in Evolutionary Dynamics website in 2014 and other years has a "Friends" page with just one person listed - Jeffrey Epstein
@Harvard And this creeps me out quite a bit but there are multiple archive of the "Jeffrey Epstein Science Foundation" site that have some other details of Epstein's interaction with scientists
@Harvard Although at some point the domain name was taken over by a spammer - the archive was of the Epstein site at least though 2014
@Harvard And ... there is also ww.jeffreyepstein.org web.archive.org/web/2019080921… with 80 archiving with all sorts of details on how he build connections to various scientists #JeffreyEpstein
@Harvard 80 archives that is
@Harvard Browsing through jeffreyepstein.org on the internet archive web.archive.org/web/2014020801… shows the extent to which he used the scientists he funded to make himself seem respectable ...
@Harvard There are also extensive lists of who he gave money too e.g.,
@Harvard And ay some of the internet archive archived sites from jeffreyepstein.org there are also lists of all of this other websites web.archive.org/web/2015010623… - even lists the @harvard Program For Evolutionary Dynamics as how to contact him
@Harvard The reported testimonials from scientists are pretty brutal in retrospect: web.archive.org/web/2011062006… eg from Nowak and Axel
@Harvard Here's more on how, in 2014, the @harvard PED Program in Evolutionary Dynamics described their "friend", known sexual abuser / rapist Jeffrey Epstein
@Harvard And of course there is more - in 2011 this from Martin Nowak was on the front page of jeffreyepstein dot org web.archive.org/web/2011072620… - again making it abundantly clear that those who took money from him directly were used to prop up his reputation
