(the microbial flora of the gut and various other parts of the body) is said to have revolutionary implications for biology and medicine. We must now understand ourselves as ?holobionts? like lichen or coral, multispecies super-organisms that consist of animal and symbiotic microbes in symbiotic combination, because normal physiological function depends on them. In this talk I look at the 1960s research of biologist Rene Dubos, a forerunner figure mentioned in some historical accounts of the microbiome, and argue that he advanced the super-organism concept 40 years before the Human Microbiome Project was conceived. Furthermore, scientist contemporaries valued this research and understood his views. This raises the questions of why the concept was not welcomed as revolutionary at the time and why Dubos is not remembered for this contribution.

We claim that they also play a less obvious but important role in solving certain coordination problems and social dilemmas that arise during pandemics. This role is both ethically and epistemically valuable. However, it also gives rise to an underappreciated dilemma, as the features that make models good at solving coordination problems are often at odds with the features that make for a good scientific model.  We examine and develop this dilemma in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggest extensions to other domains.----------------Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/82420438254Or iPhone one-tap :    US: +12532158782,,82420438254# or +13017158592,,82420438254# Or Telephone:    Dial(for higher quality, dial a number based on your current location)?        US: +1 253 215 8782 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833     Meeting ID: 824 2043 8254    International numbers available: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/u/kWH3ylBeeOr an H.323/SIP room system:    Dial: 82420438254 at zoom.aarnet.edu.au    or SIP:82420438254 at zmau.us    or 103.122.166.55    Meeting ID: 82420438254Or Skype for Business (Lync):    https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/skype/82420438254Need help using Zoom?

Normative internalism is most naturally defined in a way that requires at least some normative states to be luminous?such that, necessarily, if you?re in them then you can tell that you are. Since no interesting normative states are luminous, I propose a next best version of normative internalism. It doesn?t require luminosity, but comes close, and therefore promises to accommodate almost as many internalist intuitions. However, given plausible assumptions about anti-luminosity, it entails something radical: that the set of all normative facts is uncodifiable. In fact, this is precisely how it manages to accommodate so many internalist intuitions. And I argue that it isn?t a good reason to reject it.----------------michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
