It's a wrap! Many thanks to participants of the 2025 Foundations of Thermodynamics workshop for making it a great success. Glad that the first workshop I organized went smoothly :) I got helpful feedback on some new work on the concept of quantum work, and learnt so much from the other speakers!

Co-organized with @wmyrvold.bsky.social, the 2025 Foundations of Thermodynamics workshop will be held in NTU from 16-18 July 2025. We have a great slate of participants and I am very much looking forward to it!
Attendance is free and there will be a Zoom option. Details here: bit.ly/3SxvSNi

Always nice to be back in Caltech. Looking forward to co-presenting with Craig Callender on the Tolman effect and the temperature concept in general relativity, at the &HPS10 conference this week!

Looking forward to meeting colleagues and speaking on this paper on idealization, de-Idealization, and asymptotic reasoning I wrote with @yichenluo.bsky.social (UWO), at Lingnan and HKUST in Hong Kong next week!

Finally back in Singapore: had a productive birthday week in California! Returned to Caltech to finish a manuscript on LLMs, ethics & psychiatry w/ collaborators at a writing retreat, then visited UC Davis to speak about my works on relativistic thermodynamics (received great questions/comments! 😄).

Came across an idea generation spot on an evening walk -- no bad ideas here!

Yichen Luo (UWO) will be presenting a poster on our joint work "Check, Please! De-Idealizing De-Idealization with Asymptotic Reasoning" at Rotman's Pragmatism and PhilSci Conference!
First draft will be ready in a few weeks' time (let us know if interested!). In the meantime, here's the poster!

Will be giving a talk at NUS in a few weeks' time on the status of classical thermodynamic concepts in special and general relativity, and what this teaches us about classical thermodynamics (and non-fundamental reality)!

Officially the first day as an assistant professor at NTU Singapore! I had a great time chatting with some of my new colleagues @chongminglim.bsky.social and @terumiyake.bsky.social, and I'm looking forward to meeting others in the coming weeks 😄
