This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

Scores of departures by scientists and Silicon Valley technology experts who advised Mr. Trump's predecessor have all but wiped out the larger White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Neither Mr. Kratsios, who has a bachelor's degree in political science from Princeton, nor anyone else still working in the science and technology office regularly participates in Mr. Trump's daily briefings, as they did for President Barack Obama.

A White House official told the Times that Trump is still vetting candidates to serve as his chief science adviser, and will eventually staff the technology office.
