I met someone today who I admire a ton. I walked up to them and they said "Oh! You're Joe Cutler!" without me introducing myself.
Absolutely surreal. How is it possible that people know who I am?

Dan: "Paulette, do you know William?"
me: "I know OF William..."
wjb: "people know of me?!??"

Prolly tbh. You’ve got twice as many followers as me. I’m not gonna speculate about why. Probably cause I block half the people that follow me.

Maybe it’s cause you’re cool and do cool research. I didn’t get invited to give a seminar when I was your age.

I follow you both because you're both cool and do cool research! Just very thankful to live in a time where researchers like you are as available as you are now, but yeah, sorry if it is weird. 😳
