CFP: Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics #HPS of #geophysics workshop @ Royal Institution on 12 May w/ speakers @naomioreskes.bsky.social @terumiyake.bsky.social @geocosmohistory.bsky.social @miguelohn.bsky.social @katysduncan.bsky.social & me Deadline 7 March Submit abstract or register ⬇️

1st-ever symposium on philosophy of seismology: @alisabokulich.bsky.social on Peircean abduction & inverse modelling, @terumiyake.bsky.social on 'problem of the missing model' in seismology, optics, and thermal physics; @cristianlarph.bsky.social on quantification in seismology (joint work with me).

Trying to get my thoughts together about the passing of George Smith. He didn't publish a lot, but everything he did put out there deserves to be read more by philosophers. Like this one, with Jed Buchwald, trying to take head-on Kuhn's incommensurability thesis: direct.mit.edu/posc/article...

Delighted that our PSA'24 Symposium Proposal on "Philosophy of Seismology: Models & Measurements" with @cristianlarph.bsky.social, @miguelohn.bsky.social, @terumiyake.bsky.social, & Susan Hough has been accepted for presentation in New Orleans in Nov. Great to see philosophy of geosciences growing!

My own contribution to the George Smith volume is on John Herschel. I trace Herschel's concept of residual phenomena back to work he was doing on physical astronomy, in particular an article he wrote in 1823 for the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

I am incredibly honored to be a contributor to this volume. I can't convey here how much George Smith has meant to me as a teacher, collaborator, and friend. Check out the intro to the volume, particularly the end of it, which is on George's teaching.
