The release of Jeffrey Epstein files has led to Larry Summers resigning as a Harvard professor and Nobel winner Richard Axel quitting Columbia University, while Bill Gates addressed his past interactions with Epstein.

Nobel winner Richard Axel announced his resignation from his Columbia post, citing his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, whom he had previously called 'extremely smart'.

The Nobel laureate Richard Axel is not accused of wrongdoing but called his association with Jeffrey Epstein a “serious error in judgment.”
