Reminds me of the t-shirt I had that said, "Ok, Ok, so you've got a PhD. Just don't touch anything."
- dmd 2y agoI think when I walked back into my defense and they said "congratulations, Doctor Drucker" was the last time anyone ever called me Doctor except for possibly a hotel clerk when I selected 'Dr' as my honorific. It's just not in the culture, assuming you mostly work among other PhDs.
- kkielhofner 2y agoGrowing up my dad was a very well known PhD in his field (Occupational Therapy). There were quite a few people who insisted on using Doctor when referring to others, calling themselves Doctor, etc. He never did but I experienced it quite a bit.
- dmd 2y agoI'm talking about scientific/research PhDs, not medical. The title is absolutely used in medical.
- dgacmu 2y agoDo you happen to remember where you got that shirt? Asking for a friend. The friend is me. I desperately want that shirt (assuming it's well designed). It will complement my "Rage Against The Machine Learning" shirt that I'm wearing right now.
- johnklos 2y agoI had it custom made. Sorry that I can't point you to something already done :( It's much easier and cheaper than in the past to just go to Ali-express and find a shop with good feedback and cotton shirts, upload a graphic (even if it's just text in a specific font and size), and wait a month. I usually pay around $10 each.
