>Kratsios, 39, cut his teeth in the world of private industry, spending much of his early career at **Thiel Capital**, a venture capital firm founded by Silicon Valley stalwart **Peter Thiel**. jfc, not this vampire again.

  • He's Trump's official science advisor now, but Idk why people leave his very impressive stint as Trump's default science advisor with no science experience off of his resume these days... Sign of the times I guess [Trump’s de facto science adviser is 31 and has no science training](https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/2/14/17012322/trump-ostp-science-adviser-michael-kratsios) >More than a year into his presidency, Donald Trump still hasn’t appointed a top science adviser. So who, then, is the top-ranking science official in the White House? >“The job falls to Michael Kratsios,” ClimateWire’s Scott Waldman writes. As the top-ranking official in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Kratsios is now the de facto top science adviser in the White House. >Kratsios is a 31-year-old with a political science degree and a focus on Hellenic (a.k.a. Greek) studies from Princeton who cut his professional teeth in Silicon Valley, according to Waldman. These are not exactly the qualifications you’d want for the person the president is supposed to turn to for advice on dealing with a disease outbreak, or an environmental disaster (though Archimedes’ principle does come in handy in explaining sea level rise).
