Call him Doctor Cooper

I always enjoy reading Physics Today. However, there is a fatal mistake in “The image of scientists in The Big Bang Theory” by Margaret Weitekamp (January 2017, page 42 ). The caption for figure 1 reads “Hanging with Mr Cooper.”
No. He is Dr Cooper. He is very sensitive about it.
As the author correctly described, Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj often make fun of Howard, who doesn’t have a PhD. Sheldon is proud of his doctoral degree, and he never allows anybody to call him Mr Cooper.
This is funny for me because I also feel strange if someone calls me Mr Katori. People may call me Teppei or Dr Katori, but not Mr Katori, please.
