From his textbook “Evolutionary Dynamics: Exploring The Equations of Life.” In the last sentence of the preface, after a couple dozen acknowledgements that are literally just a list of names, he has one last special thanks that gets its own paragraph:
“I thank Jeffrey Epstein for many ideas and for letting me participate in his passionate pursuit of knowledge in all its forms”

Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2026/2/25/nowak-leave-epstein/
Well I am sure Harvard benefited from all the money he brought to the department via Epstein. So the only way Harvard can come clean is to donate a similar amount of money to independent charities that fight against child slavery, human trafficking etc.
Btw, here is the full context for the email:
knowledge in all its forms… gross
In a minute we will get post from the community that in right circles at Harvard “everyone known”. Accept future victims I guess.
Harvard punishes child rapists with a paid vacation?
Administrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.
In other words, your question amounts to:
“An investigation started? Shouldn’t it be over before it began?”
No, that’s not how investigations work.
Punishing people for things you can’t know they did means hurting people to gratify your feelings. Which is exactly what they did to make you feel that way. So…how does that work?
It was just a little statutory torture. I don’t see what the problem is.
he hasn’t been investigated yet
I’m a generally forgiving and understanding person but it’s hard to argue these people shouldn’t simply be shot.
maybe it was response to a tough Test question on of his models complained about?
checks date… after 2008, when he was a known child prostitute solicitor… ummm…
*child rape slave trafficker
From Wiktionary:
knowledge: (archaic or law) Sexual intimacy or intercourse (now usually in phrase carnal knowledge). [from 15th c.]
What in the French fried fuck, he gave a fucking shoutout to Epstein in the dedication of his textbook…?
Not to be that guy, but Epstein wasn’t always known to be the bad guy to the general public, and this professor might not have known about the not public stuff he was doing. I haven’t read the article though, so maybe not.
Edit: read the article, Harvard only put the guy on leave because everything became public with the release of the Epstein files. It seems to be that this professor was in on it, and Harvard had taken action against him before but lifted the sanctions because of reasons.
The book was published in October 2006.
In May 2006, Palm Beach police filed a probable cause affidavit that Epstein should be charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of sexual abuse.

So, um…
The title image literally quotes him asking “did you torture her”
That’s Epstein asking Nowak
Ah true, but still a good example to show that Nowak should have known that Epstein had a screw loose.
It’s a good example to show that Nowak was torturing women and girls
Who are spies captured on missions?
It’s a good example to show the commenters on lemmy lack reading comprehension & grasp of hyperbole & banter.
Someone does.
yeah…fuck that guy.
That would be more true if he met Epstein couple times but this guy seemingly was very close with him. At this point he should be considered a collaborator in his crimes.
You are that guy man right in your own special way you are that guy
That’s your issue and not the email from Epstein asking if he “tortured her”?
…how is that your takeaway from my comment?
Of course that’s entirely heinous. I was just remarking on the fact that the guy fucking put Epstein in the dedication of his textbook on top of that. It’s just an extra layer of gratuitous, gleeful evil that just beggars belief.
Massaschusetts is an at-will state. Was “rich pedophile” added as a protected class at some point or why does does he get a paid vacation for this?
He may have an employment contract in place which gives additional protections. It’s much more likely for a Harvard professor than your average worker.
paid administrative leave
We disapprove of your paedophilia, and to demonstrate that we wanted to give you lots of money and no work commitments to keep you tied to one place.
I love how shitty people get paid vacations for being shitty.
If you just fire someone who can afford an attorney without going through the proper process, you’re opening your organization up to a lawsuit
At this moment I’d out for administrative leave for all persons involved with Epstein.
It’s better than zero consequences.
Beheading would be better, ofc
He got the jeevacations 💀💀
These people need to be put underneath the school.
Yes, I sound “barbaric” and we’re a society of laws and all that, but it seems we’re obviously not. This information was just sat on, fucking disgusting people.
The united states has not been a society of laws since at least 2020, and anyone telling you otherwise is either blind, stupid, lying, or some combination of the three
(I count the supreme court overturning settled law and all branches of government abetting treason as the actual final point of breakdown of the rule of law in this country)
Anyone telling you the US was a society of laws before 2020 was a white cishet middle or upper class male.
I would still say it was a country of laws, but that is not the same thing as a country of justice.
Laws for thee to bind Laws for me to be free. -the oligarchs
Precisely. Wilhoit’s Law
A lot of working class bootlickers will argue with you.
What does he profess?
Numbers, I assume.
really impressed with the constant stream of high profile people that knew this was coming, having seen countless other epstein associates fall… but still just stayed in their public high profile roles.
like… you could have got out ahead of this… or better yet faded into obscurity, changed your name and move to SE asia… but nope.
guess if you are fucked in the head enough to associate with pedo’s you are fucked in the head enough to put up with this 🤷
you could have got out ahead of this… or better yet faded into obscurity, changed your name and move to SE asia… but nope.
Why would he? The worst thing that has happened to him is that he’s getting a paid vacation.
Yet. There are dozens other who resigned (or were forced to resign) their jobs.
Oh noooooo, forced to resign, you say!?
Pretty sure they have social connections they don’t want to cut. Like e.g. friends or… you know… a family.
Fucking gross
