Epistemic Institutions: Law's Encounters with Knowledge
Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge By James Dillon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Andrea L. Roth Professor Amy E. Lerman Summer 2018 Abstract Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge by James Dillon Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair This dissertation examines the construction of “legal knowledge”—the finding of facts to which legal norms are to be applied in the adjudication of disputes—from an interdisciplinary perspective emphasizing epistemology, the sociology of scientific knowledge, political theory, and cognitive psychology. While the construction of legal knowledge is an essential component of the legal process and the principal task of American trial courts, the process remains fraught with practical and theoretical challenges that complicate simplistic conceptions of factfinding as a transparent process of veridical reconstruction of past events. Legal epistemic agents, like all epistemic agents, lack direct access to past events; thus, legal knowledge cannot perceive the past directly, but can only interpret it. The process of legal factfinding inevitably creates distortions and is subject to systemic biases in its effort to create a veridical construct of past events giving rise to a legal dispute. Although this dissertation cannot address every under-explored problem concerning the legitimacy and reliability of legal knowledge construction, its principal contribution is to bring interdisciplinary insights to bear on several of the more salient unresolved problems around the law’s engagement with knowledge claims and the construction of legal knowledge through the adversarial process. -

Kansans for Health Freedom Program
T H I S B O O K B E L O N G S T O : I F F O U N D , C O N T A C T I N F O . WELCOME! Welcome to the Freedom Revival in the Heartland event of 2020. We are so excited to have you here! I can assure you that getting this event off in only three weeks is a testament to the power of God working in a million big and little ways. It is also a testament to the talent, passion, and inspiration of some very dedicated and hard-working people. Today, we unite with all who are awake to the rising trend of medical tyranny. We join with those who have been silenced. We grieve with those who have lost so much. Finally, we rejoice that many more are waking up to the corruption of our health agencies and the failure of the pharma-medical paradigm every day. Kansans for Health Freedom is a young organization which came together in June of 2019. Our goal is to promote and uphold our constitutional freedoms for vaccine and medical choice and true informed consent. We want to see the needless injuries and deaths from vaccines eliminated. We want to hear the unheard and be a voice for the silenced. We want to educate the public about the very real risks of vaccines so that no more will be harmed. Our wonderful team has had an amazing year with many great learning experiences. Some of you have been a part of that, and we thank you! If you are not a member of KSHF but you believe the government and its agencies should not be the determiners for your family’s health choices, please join us. -

H IRST Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1979 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. FRANK LAPPIN HORSFALL, JR. December 14,1906-February 19,1971 BY GEORGE K. HIRST RANK L. HORSFALL, JR. was a clinician and a virologist whose Finfluential leadership came primarily through his perceptive scientific experimentation, both in the laboratory and in the clinic, and also through his vast administrative skill. He was born December 14, 1906 in Seattle, Washington, where he spent all his formative years until he was twenty-one. His father, a native Vermonter, was a prominent surgeon who maintained a large house on Capitol Hill, and Frank, the first of four children, was a high-spirited youth whose interests led him into a wide range of activities. By the time he entered high school, he had decided to become an engineer, and he spent afternoons and evenings with a friend rigging up the family Victrola for radio reception. In the course of his four years at high school, he participated actively in the student council, the boys' athletic association, the glee club, and the radio press association. He was valedictorian of his class. During four years of college at the University of Washington he lived in a fraternity house, and during the early part of this experience he was uncharacteristically erratic in the pursuit of his studies. -

Commemorative Booklet (PDF) Waksman and his students, in their laboratory at Rutgers University, established the first screening protocols to detect antimicrobial agents produced by microorganisms. This deliberate search for chemotherapeutic agents contrasts with the discovery of penicillin, which came through a chance observation by Alexander Fleming, who noted that a mold contaminant on a Petri dish culture had inhibited the growth of a bacterial pathogen. During the 1940s, Waksman and his students isolated more than fifteen antibiotics, the most famous of which was streptomycin, the first effective treatment for tuberculosis.

René Dubos: Wooing the Earth, from Soil Microbes to Human Ecology
René Dubos: Wooing the Earth, from Soil Microbes to Human Ecology Carol L. Moberg1 The Rockefeller University, New York, New York, United States Figure 1: René Dubos at home on the woodland property he restored after buying an abandoned farm, Garrison, New York. 7 April 1972 Source: Photograph © Lawrence R. Moberg. René Dubos was an ecologist from the beginning. He championed the philosophy that a living organism—whether a microbe, human being, society, or the Earth itself—could be understood only in its relationships with everything else (Moberg, 2005). Each stage in Dubos’s career broadened his exploration of this philosophy 1 Author contact: [email protected] 65 Human Ecology Review, Volume 23, Number 2, 2017 as he evolved during half a century from studies of soil microbes to promoting a “humanistic biology,” in other words, ecology as a humanistic science. Although unknown to Dubos, the term “humanistic science” was not new. In 1922, Ecology, the Ecological Society of America’s (ESA) journal, published an article by Stephen A. Forbes, “The Humanizing of Ecology,” arguing that economic and humanistic values, with applications of botany, bacteriology, zoology, entomology, and physiology, were all “related to the protection and restoration of health and hence to the prolongation of human life.” Of all the biological sciences, Forbes (1922) wrote, ecology is “the humanistic science par excellence” (pp. 90). For Dubos, the philosophical basis of ecology was health. During his final years, he focused on the human condition and how the world that humans inherit, alter, and leave behind would shape their own health. -
The Truth About Vaccines
The Truth about Vaccines What you need to know in order to save your child? By Dr. Heather Rice Dr. Heather Rice My name is Dr. Heather Rice. I am many things to many people; however, the most meaningful titles I hold are that of mom and Chiropractor. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic is my passion. My practice members are not “patients” to me they are friends, neighbors, and family. I took over Network Chiropractic of Vermont in 1997 but I have over 25+ years of experience in the Chiropractic profession. I wanted to Help people Feel Better My connection with Chiropractic started at a young age as both of my parents are Chiropractors. I have a memory of my father adjusting me when I was 13 years old. I remember because I had strep throat and each adjustment made me feel better. That is when the seed was planted - I too wanted to help people feel better. Chiropractic Education & Training Two of my brothers and I went to school to be Chiropractors. I graduated 4th in my class from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1983 and since then I have become one of the few doctors in Vermont to achieve the highest level of certification in Network Spinal Analysis (NSA). NSA is known for its gentle adjustments and profound changes in the quality of life. I also am certified as a FLOWTRITION practitioner and can also teach the approach. At Network Chiropractic of Vermont I have traveled the world (especially China & South Korea) practicing Chiropractic but Vermont is my home.
