YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 2008, Harvard University quietly decided it would refuse future donations from a generous benefactor, Jeffrey Epstein.

Yet six years on, Epstein was still finding ways to channel his wealth towards some of Harvard’s world-renowned scientists, including those doing pioneering work in genetics, a field that held longtime personal interest for Epstein.
