The attached file is a summary of the paper accompanying the 3rd Blight Honor Lecture delivered by Alonso (2023) at the 8th UNSAT, titled "The positive history of an error. Modelling the heave of a nuclear power station". The summary is meant to play the role of a guided tour and encourage geotechnical engineers to read the paper and watch the lecture, the message of which is relevant to research, practice and education. Many thanks to Prof. Alonso for reading the summary and okaying it.

Education concerns all, hence TC306 is actively pursuing interactions with other TCs. TC306 encourages in particular small-scale contributions, such as reviews, news items on peer reviewed and peer-recommended educational material, short commentaries on geotechnical topics from a teaching point of view. This guided-tour kind of summary is another example of small-scale contribution. Please bring to TC306's attention other such worthy topics and consider a coauthored contribution.
