Dr. Carl D. Schlichting is the fearless leader of the lab. Between saving helpless tourists from baboons, a refined palette for the pairing of wines with academic journals, and an exceptional level of dedication to the music of the 1980s, Schlichting is not only one of the greatest, but the most unusual, advisors of all time.


He also needs to upload a bio.
