I don't think the general public knows the full extent of our training and capabilities yet, but we can continue to work on that aspect.
If people I meet for the 1st time outside of academia/medicine ask me what I'm doing, I just say "Grad school." That usually satisfies them, and saves me a lot of effort explaining
