That's relevant and cool, dear #bookhistory experts and #histodons: "The contaminated library" is out.

"The prejudice of the microbe as the enemy of the collection is questioned. Instead, the microbe is brought to the fore and made contextually visible as a book-biographical sign: traces on the book, including microbial ones, can bear witness to fire, flood, evacuation, and historical epidemics." Congratulations to the editors and authors!

#BirminghampPolice said its officers tased Johnny Mims, 39, once, according to NPR. He insists he was tased up to three times. I listened to body cam: AT LEAST three times.

'Beyond its potential to enhance surgical resectability of the primary tumor, neoadjuvant immunotherapy further seeks to utilize the primary tumor as a source of antigens recognized by the immune system, inducing or enhancing systemic anti-tumor immunity to target and eliminate distant micrometastases that would otherwise become the nidus of post-surgical relapse'

Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis died #OTD in 1843.

He is best known for his work on the supplementary forces that are detected in a rotating frame of reference, leading to the Coriolis effect. He was the first to apply the term travail (translated as "work") for the transfer of energy by a force acting through a distance, and he prefixed the factor ½ to Leibniz's concept of vis viva, thus specifying today's kinetic energy. via @wikipedia

Neurophilosophers - am I getting this right?

Namely: what psychologists call "processes" are what philosophers would call "things" (not processes)

The philosophical distinction between things versus processes is the idea that these are two different ways of thinking about the world. In the things way of thinking, the world is made up of just that: things – dogs, cats, me, you, this book, that pencil. In contrast, the process way of thinking shifts the emphasis from thinking about things in a static way to acknowledge the reality that everything is always changing. It's the famous idea that you can't step in the same river twice because the river you would step into a second time is a changed river and thus not the same as the one you stepped into before. From a process perspective, the idea of a thing called "a dog" or "a river" or "you" is an abstraction that captures some aspects of reality (the static aspects) but fails to capture some others (the changing ones).

One way in which the "things" way of thinking manifests in brain/mind research is the idea that there are modules that our brains flexibly combine to accomplish complex tasks; things like vision, audition, memory, attention and decision making. While these are often called "processes" by brain/mind researchers, philosophers would point out that in the way that most brain researchers think about them, they are very much "things".
