My partner has one and it’s something that never comes up in a social setting unless someone says “what do you do for work”.

It can also come up in a more formal social setting if the Dr. prefix is on place setting or RSVP list. Before I was married I used to always RSVP with doctor just because I hated the Ms. prefix.

It doesn't even come up then! "I'm a scientist working on X" doesn't imply to most people "I have a PhD"

Anyway, the novelty of the PhD sort of wears off after a few years.

To be honest the novelty of having a PhD is wearing off and I'm writing my thesis now.
