mhoyeBruce Banner canonically has 7 PhDs and honestly the fact that he periodically turns into a giant green ragemonster after spending that much time in academia without tenure is the most believable thing in the entire Marvel canon.
Dan Sugalski@mhoye And with 7 PhDs he's canonically both an idiot and has commitment-to-reality issues, which also tracks. I mean, seriously. Nobody with any actual contact with the real world's going to go for 3 (or even 2) PhD's, let alone 7.
Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲They might if they're trying to keep delaying student loan payments.
Pent Up Games 🔞@wordshaper @mhoye I love the multiple PhDs trope 🤣 It's like saying "he did 8th grade three times, he must be a genius!"
Morten@wordshaper @mhoye I have met someone with two PhDs. Was as you would expect. Also know someone with 1½ PhDs but he's kinda normal. For someone with a PhD.
@drgroftehauge @mhoye Now *there's* a ringing endorsement for someone's social skills and connection to reality!
Unni LeinoI tried to go for two back in the day but the university told me to just choose one. Still, I did eventually get formal postdoc credentials (the local equivalent to the Habilitation of the German academic culture, at the level of associate professor in US terms) and have worked as a university lecturer in both fields, and been the president of a learned society in a third unrelated one. Seven completed doctorates is a bit on the unbelievable side, though, even with high intelligence and ADHD.
