Earthquake in Seattle suggests a thread.
How about seeing members assemble a basic vocabulary for discussing earthquakes?
For instance: Richter scale. I remember seeing assurance by Richter himself, that his name should not be used as eponym. As a graduate student he had presented the paper for his prof,Beno Gutenberg who was not well enough to do so, and the newspapers improperly attached his name to the work.
