"Martin Nowak, a mathematics and biology professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, was placed on paid administrative leave as Harvard reviews the Department of Justice's continued releases of documents related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender, according to reporting from The Harvard Crimson."
"Of the $9 million Epstein and his foundations donated to Harvard, his largest gift was $6.5 million to establish Nowak's PED in 2003. Epstein also repeatedly praised Nowak on his science-related website."
"Nowak was known for running Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, where Epstein repeatedly visited and met with other professors, according to the files. When Nowak and Epstein's close ties initially surfaced, Harvard closed the program in 2021 and barred Nowak from leading any new research projects or taking on new advisees for two years."
Harvard University has placed mathematics and biology professor Martin Nowak on paid administrative leave as the university reviews Department of Justice documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The FAS Faculty Conduct Committee recommended a formal investigation to determine whether Nowak violated university policies and professional conduct standards. Nowak previously faced sanctions for his Epstein connections. Epstein donated $6.5 million to establish Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics in 2003, and visited the program repeatedly. Nowak visited Epstein's island in 2013. Harvard closed the program in 2021 and previously restricted Nowak from leading new research projects for two years. This action follows former Harvard president Larry Summers' resignation after DOJ documents revealed his close relationship with Epstein.
