well at least it's not Call me Dave........ (for non UK, phrase used by former PM David Cameron when he was trying to show he was a 'man of the people', also the title of his unauthorised biography.)
From the Guardian article: From David's repsonse on Virology Blog: I think David is being too generous here. Most people would probably take a construction like "a man called David Tuller" as a way of implying that David has no credentials (other than being a "tough kind of activist" and "former HIV campaigner"). An author less inclined to minimize might have added some additional facts to color their discourse (unless the brevity was imposed by an editor). For example: [*Taken from David's online bio at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. https://journalism.berkeley.edu/person/david_tuller/ ]
Good discussion. Once again, much thanks to Prof. Racaniello for his solid support for @dave30th and his work.
