Of the dozens of words submitted, three in particular stood out: “hostile,” “siloed,” and “aggressive.”

Three months later, Lander resigned as President Biden’s science adviser, after Politico reported a White House investigation that found “credible evidence” that he had violated workplace conduct rules.
