Murray Gell-Mann (1929–2019)
In a talk at the Institute for Advanced Study, the famous slip of the tongue gave him an idea that the particles had a previously unknown fundamental property - he labelled it \"strangeness\". A conscription notice at the end of the Korean War - his exemption paperwork had not been filed properly - prompted him to send an article to the Physical Review. In 1969, Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics \"for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions\".

Trust, expertise, and the philosophy of science
Trust is a central concept in the philosophy of science. We highlight how trust is important in the wide variety of interactions between science and society. We claim that examining and clarifying the nature and role of trust (and distrust) in relations between science and society is one principal way in which the philosophy of science is socially relevant. We argue that philosophers of science should extend their efforts to develop normative conceptions of trust that can serve to facilitate trust between scientific experts and ordinary citizens. The first project is the development of a rich normative theory of expertise and experience that can explain why the various epistemic insights of diverse actors should be trusted in certain contexts and how credibility deficits can be bridged. The second project is the development of concepts that explain why, in certain cases, ordinary citizens may distrust science, which should inform how philosophers of science conceive of the formulation of science policy when conditions of distrust prevail. The third project is the analysis of cases of successful relations of trust between scientists and non-scientists that leads to understanding better how 'postnormal' science interactions are possible using trust.
