I will also acknowledge that i hate being called “Mr. Swamidass.” If you must use a title, then it should be “Doctor.” I, after all, have both the PhD and MD.
Some of the stranger moments of my life are people addressing my be first name as they request I call them “doctor.” I am not very sympathetic to this either.
Though, ultimately, I’ll accept people calling me “Dr. Swamidass” or “Josh”, without worrying about it so much. Honestly, I think “professor” is a far more prestigious title.
Remember this Dr. @Patrick?
