I mean yeah, if you spent 5 years of your life pushing the edge of human understanding on a subject, and a shithead tells you to do the science on your research subject, it’s relevant lol
Funny enough, my boss has a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. She never tells people because they start referring to her as Doctor, and she hates that. I don’t think I’ve actually ever heard her bring it up on her own.
How do you know if someone has a PhD.?
They tell you
Never not true
I never tell people I have a PhD. It’s rude, plus I don’t have one.
Tbf, they kinda earned the right to brag.

True, but I do think it was warranted in this case.
This is putting confirmation bias to the extreme.
Well you don’t know people with PhD that don’t tell you they have one
An unknown-unknown?
Sometimes they don’t tell you and just quietly update all of their usernames…
Right? It’s really weird…
Do you by chance have a PhD in food science?
Tacology

How do you know someone has a PhD?
When it becomes acutely relevant, they’ll politely let you know, and then you can become annoyed at them about it.
Thinking about it, that exact thing also applies to other ‘how do you know someone is/has/does […]’ as well.
…why shouldn’t they?
