The Senate on Friday confirmed by voice vote Eric Lander to lead the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), rounding out President Biden’s Cabinet. Lander, who will serve as Biden’s top scientist, is the first person to hold the role since the president made it a Cabinet-level position. Before Friday, Lander was the only unconfirmed member of the Cabinet, though Biden has not yet named a head to the Office of Management and Budget. He said his only interactions with Epstein were at "two brief events" within a span of three weeks in 2012. "I made a mistake," Lander previously told the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
