Sophia Efstathiou Edna Suárez-Díaz 5 For many of us this is our favorite meeting; a coming together of colleagues and friends from around the world. We hope that Welcome from the we will all enjoy the exciting days that lie ahead and will fill the bright nights with stimulating conversations. One of the most important aims for us has been to contin- ue to strengthen the Society’s Local Organizing tradition of innovative, inclusive, and informal gatherings.

Jean Gayon (1949–2018) was Professor of History and Philos- ophy of Science and Director of the Institute for the History and JEAN GAYON Philosophy of Sciences and Tech- niques at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sor- bonne. He was one of the early enthusiasts of ISHPSSB, creating fruitful bonds between Europe and America. After studying philosophy, he followed Canguilhem’s advice and trained in biology for a decade before embarking on a PhD program that led to his book on the history of the Darwinian theory of natural selection. During this period, Jean travelled frequently to the United States, where he contributed to the emergence of philosophy of biology and built lasting connections with its founding members. Jean’s detailed studies of scientific knowledge combine analytic precision and historical depth and are based on a variety of methods that go beyond traditional disciplinary bor- ders in order to explore conceptual puzzles prompted by present-day issues. Jean’s legacy as a philosopher and a historian rests not only on an impressive list of publications and sig- nificant international activities, but also on his Jean Gayon role as a mentor in training graduate students. 1949–2018 ISHPSSB honours Jean Gayon as a scholar and colleague through a panel organised by Pierre-Olivier Méthot and Francesca Mer- lin and chaired by Edna Suárez-Díaz, with the participation of Richard Burian, David Depew, Philippe Huneman, Francesca Merlin, Pierre-Olivier Méthot, Victor Petit, Staffan 8 Müller-Wille, and Betty Smocovitis. 9 Norsk

Gísli Pálsson The last century has been var- iously named the century of genetics, biology, and the gene. Epistemic landscapes The 21st Century, in contrast, seems primarily associated with life and the environment. Such for the century of life a shift, I argue, has at least two kinds of momentum. On the one hand, it continues from recent concepts of “local biologies”, “body worlds”, and “biosocial relations”, conflating genomes, organisms, and context, erasing the boundaries between inside and outside the organism. On the other hand, it recognizes an emergent momentum in the history of life, characterized by the alarming threat of mass extinction as a result of human activities, witnessed by a recent UN report. Probing the advent and implications of the “environment” is at the core of the growing field of “epigenetics”, identified by Conrad Waddington in the 1940s. Applying Wadding- ton’s visualization of epigenetic landscape to epistemic shifts in the century of life – partly turning Waddington on Waddington – I suggest one may interrogate the development of Gísli Pálsson the notions of “epigenome” for the purpose of University of Iceland, Iceland understanding and respecting “life itself” in the current century of life.
