Nobel laureate Richard Axel has resigned as co-director of Columbia University’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute following the release of Justice Department documents revealing his ongoing correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
Axel called the relationship a “serious error in judgment,” apologized for compromising trust, and stepped down from leadership and Howard Hughes Medical Institute roles, though he will continue his research.
