It was a great pleasure to talk to Ricardo Lopes about Inference and Representation. A long standing invitation to his Dissenter podcast, and we finally made it!

I do discuss mathematical models in science though...
"Nothing represents unless it has the capacity to license some surrogative inferences ... however minimal, inappropriate, misleading, or incorrect these inferences might be’ (Mauricio Suárez, 2024, p. 157)

It was an honor and a privilege to study under, and work with, Bas at San Francisco State. In particular, his advanced logic course brings back so many wonderful and impactful memories. I can't think of a more deserving philosopher for such a prize! #philsci #philosophy

New paper just published in Synthese: Instrumental Understanding link.springer.com/article/10.1...
In this paper I start developing an account of pragmatic understanding fit for an epistemology of scientific instruments, drawing especially on Davis Baird's Thing Knowledge. #philsci #philsky
Wonderful. Congratulations. Is it coming out in the special issue in honour of Paul (Humphreys)?
