[ExI] Does the Star Trek transporter kill people?

[John Grigg]

I apologize for the confusion.

My friend already had his masters in physics when he applied to the
doctoral program run by Krauss. And so after quitting due to an
uncooperative Krauss and a horrible situation at home, he was able to find
work with an upgrade project for the MRI scanner. He unfortunately never
did get his doctorate in physics, and currently teaches with one of the
larger online only universities.
