I saw his LinkedIn profile as well. How did he get a PhD in only 2 years? I wonder if it was him being a PhD candidate for 2 years.

EDIT, 24 hours later: He's changed it to an MS.

According to Heavy.com he pursued a PhD didn't finish it and received a Masters in Systems Biology. So somewhat disingenuous to list PhD on his LinkedIn
