- lettergram 11y agoHe never actually got a PhD: > Prior to founding Lumosity, Michael was a neuroscience PhD student at Stanford University. > Michael graduated from Princeton University with an A.B. in Psychology.
- kolbe 11y agoEven if he had one, having "a neuroscience PhD" isn't even close to enough experience necessary to fulfill the expectations of running a robust, legal and ethical medical technology company. Lumosity seems like one of those companies that bit off more than it could chew. Then, to fulfill investor expectations, they started to engage in shady and unethical sales practices.
