New NASA Chief: Rocket Scientist
Michael D. Griffin, whom President Bush yesterday nominated to head NASA, has a fair amount of book learnin’:
He received a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Johns Hopkins University; a master’s degree in Aerospace Science from Catholic University of America; a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland; a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California; a master’s degree in Applied Physics from Johns Hopkins University; a master’s degree in Business Administration from Loyola College; and a master’s degree in Civil Engineering from The George Washington University.
I hope he gets an office with a big wall.

About James Joyner
While it’s great that he is, indeed, a rocket scientist, I’m relieved to see that MBA included in the list of scientific degrees. He’ll need that to run a government agency.
