[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Congratulations from the whole FraMEPhys team to Dr Noelia Iranzo Ribera @niranzri who passed her viva today! Noelia's thesis was on "Possibilities for Interventionist Explanation: Conceptual, Physical & Fictional"

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Exciting new collection on scientific modal epistemology just out - and mostly open access https://t.co/zkmUBMGYqh

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Interesting funded PhD studentship in philosophy of scientific modelling at Birmingham, focusing on irrigation models - https://t.co/Ucu76JSrwA

With the final project conference over, and only the hard core left standing, time for a swansong!

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Final day of our final @FraMEPhys event! - first up is Michael Townsen Hicks, "Laws Unconstrained: Against Minimal Primitivism about Laws of Nature"

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

And rounding out our lineup, project leader @modalizing discusses Priority, Emergence, and Structural Realism

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Last talk of a great day, from Lina Jansson on empirical access to laws of nature and Newton's methodology: Empirical Evidence for Lawhood for Everyone (Almost)

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Day 2 of our conference on Metaphysical Explanation in Physics - with Joaquim Giannotti @nothumean and Markel Kortabarria @m_kortabarria on "Scientific Explanation as a Guide to Ground"

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Now we have @Zee_Perry on the metaphysics of quantity: Does Dynamics Explain the Quantitative? Prospects for a Nomological Theory of Quantity

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Wrapping up today is Isaac Wilhelm introducing Wavefunction Mereology

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

We're under way at our final @FraMEPhys Conference on Metaphysical Explanation in Physics at @mac_birmingham - first talk is from @DrEleanorKnox on Functionalism in Physics

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

Next talk is Katie Robertson @philophyser, talking about Discovering Simplicity: From Time Asymmetry to Causal Asymmetry

[J. T. Giannotti @nothumean]

Catch in Birmingham the next week for the @FraMEPhys final conference on Metaphysical Explanation in Physics, on May 15-17 2023 at the Midlands Arts Centre, Cannon Hill Park! Very excited to be part of this stellar line-up!

@GravityGrinch @PTRBirmingham @HikeMix @weylperson The plan is to record and upload talks later where possible🤞

[FraMEPhys @FraMEPhys]

When do two physical theories represent the same physical reality? That's the topic of our workshop @PTRBirmingham this Friday 24 Feb, with @HikeMix @weylperson Lorenzo Cocco, Niels Martens and Neil Dewar https://t.co/8rkzs949RU
