    Bruce Banner's seven PhDs represents a massive failure of advising, admissions committee due diligence, and career decision-making.https://twitter.com/Satirony/status/1080921035925409792 …

    SEVEN. MY DUDE HAS 7 PHDS. That's the most unbelievable part of his story. Not the gamma ray's turning him into a super powered, invincible, green beast when he's angry. But the fact that *anybody* would torture their self through 7 PhDs? Unbelievable. https://twitter.com/jenstrange/status/1080920458751557632 …

        Dr Brian May wasn't able to get his PhD until he was 60, and today he is a respected astrophysicist working on the New Horizons deep space probe, so don't give up on your dreams, it's never too late

        Two PhDs is a thing that does happen very occasionally, usually in association with a radical shift of field.

        Like I said, it's rare (and given the structure of careers it's probably more rare now than it once might have been). The most prominent example in my field is Harrison White, PhD Physics (MIT, 1955), and PhD Sociology (Princeton, 1960).

        The only people I've know with multiple Ph.D.s had one from an obscure foreign university and another from a US school.

        It’s not common but it does happen, eg @docfreeride has two PhDs (physical chem, philosophy) from Stanford. She’s not a giant green rage monster, though. (Also, and not for nothing, most every foreign university is “obscure” to an American.)

        According to Age of Ultron at least one of them is in something called "bio-organics" so I'm guessing a few are from the same school Hunter S Thompson got his doctorate.
