      In my group there is a mix of people who are doctors and those who arent. I think its important to have the mix so that you have different ways of thinking and solving problems!
      Unfortunately I do not work with any medical doctors either!

      Most of the people I work with have PhDs, so they can call themselves Doctor. I use the title doctor day to day as well although this doesn’t always go smoothly

      Actually most of the time people just call me Stewart – we’re quite informal in the particle physics community.

      I don’t get to work with medical doctors, but I do know an ex-particle physicist who now works in a hospital calculating how much radiation cancer patients should be treated with. She works with doctors all the time!
