Oh, I just taught that too, but my method truly pales in comparison to yours.

Many thanks to @cristianlarph.bsky.social @erantal.bsky.social @beccajackson.bsky.social @annaalexandrova.bsky.social @federicabocchi.bsky.social for discussions at various stages and nice audiences at Cambridge, BU, UW Madison, UEA, Durham, and PSA for questions and comments :-)

Congratulations to both of you, and to @annaalexandrova.bsky.social too!

It is a bit odd to think someone could have a PhD in earth science and write two standard works on the history of geophysics and not know the difference between g and G...

This is extremely uncharitable. She is clearly talking about g only, which is frequently presented as a constant in school textbooks and science communication (this is a public lecture!). Not to mention that g was de facto taken to be a universal constant prior to Newton.

Such a nice picture of you and Aja!

I would read a draft for sure. Congrats to you and Chris! (I would have wanted to attend the summer school, too, under normal circumstances, but it's just been too hectic relocating my life to the States this year).

Congrats, David!
