You say that you merely prefer the Ph.D. credential, and that you're not degree obsessed, but further down you say that if a person submits a resume they should include their Ph.D. thesis. Can you provide some clarification on what exactly are the requirements to be considered for a role?
if you have a PhD, great send it... if you don't have one that's perfectly fine - we'd love to hear from you either way. We value honest scientific contributions, not pieces of paper.
