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).
Thanks to my co-symposiasts @terumiyake.bsky.social @cristianlarph.bsky.social & @miguelohn.bsky.social for a great session & conversation today! Although we missed Susan Hough, it was nice to have an extended Q&A w/ audience.

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:

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.

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.
