pg has a PhD from Harvard.
- _delirium 16y agoHuh, somehow I had completely missed that. I think that would probably still not be enough, though, since he hasn't been involved in research culture (either in academia or at a research lab like IBM's or Microsoft's) for a long time. But it seems unlikely to matter either way, since my guess is that "leave YC to direct an academic research lab full-time" isn't high on Graham's list of priorities.
- maxawaytoolong 16y agoRelated, Negroponte does not have a PhD.
- _delirium 16y agoTrue, but he was a professor and/or academic researcher for about 20 years before founding the Media Lab. Partly it's because he was originally in architecture, and art/design fields didn't used to insist on professors having PhDs as strongly as they now do (masters or MFA used to be sufficient, and MFAs sometimes still are).
