(Newser) – The president’s top science adviser apparently likes to browbeat his staff. Politico reports that Cabinet member Eric Lander sent out an email to his 150 or so underlings on Friday in which he apologizes for speaking to them in a “disrespectful and demeaning way.” The email does not provide specific examples, but Politico notes that it is currently in the midst of an investigation into how Lander treats his staff. His apology—the Daily Beast describes it as “groveling”—appears to be an attempt to get out in front of the story.
