@cwebber @dthompson The fact that you're on a nickname basis with prof Sussman is both surprising and not surprising lmao :blobmiou:

@Parnikkapore @dthompson Well apparently nobody who knows him calls him Gerald, even though that's how he lists himself formally

I've only had a few fortunate interactions with him, but I'm friends with several people who were his students, and they all call him Gerry
