Harvard science professors kept meeting with donor
Jeffrey Epstein despite his sex offender status
All meetings were presumably related to genetics research. Epstein gave $6.5 million to Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.

WASHINGTON — Disgraced hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein was attending on-campus meetings as recently as 2014 with professors at Harvard University, a school he had supported with at least one multimillion-dollar donation, even though the registered sex offender's ties to the school had already raised questions.
Epstein, who donated $6.5 million to Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics in 2003, had phone calls, meetings and meals with members of the Harvard faculty at least six times in 2014, according to the online personal calendar of Dr. George Church, a renowned geneticist who holds professorships at Harvard, Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
On April 22, Epstein met with Church at the Harvard Medical School's Genetics Department building, according to the calendar. The two had a phone call the next day. He had lunch with Church on June 21, according to the calendar. The entry for the note also includes the notation "Martin Nowak's Institute."
