Royal Truman

Creationist Organic Chemist

Royal Truman has bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and in computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Michigan State University and post-graduate studies in bioinformatics from the universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim. Professional certifications include CISSP, ISMS, CCSP, (cyber security); CPIM, CSCP (supply chain); Azure Fundamentals (cloud technology); and PMP (project management). He works for a large multinational in Europe.
