hese adventures began in 1967 when I was lucky enough to get a post-doctoral fellowship at the Rockefeller University in New York. This was in the laboratory of René Dubos, a distinguished microbiologist who was the first to systematically find an antibiotic, to pioneer the investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but who recently had become interested in the microbial flora of the intestinal tract (Moberg, 2005). Indeed, Dubos really can be considered to be the Father of the gut microbiome, which is currently all the rage, sixty years later (Prescott, 2017). His group worked with germ-free (GF) and specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice, studying the bacteria in their intestinal tracts and the impact of factors such as nutrition, stress, maternal care, housing conditions, social interactions and sanitation on immune functions and health over the lifespan of the mice. With colleague Russell Schaedler, Dubos was the first to consider the digestive tract as an ecosystem. In their words: “Recent studies have revealed that there exists in normal animals an abundant and characteristic microflora, not only in the large intestine but also in all the other parts of the digestive tract ... they become so intimately associated with the various digestive organs that they form with them a well-defined

History is often evoked as a form of immunisation, as though prior exposure to a threat should protect us from its recurrence. The galloping crises of 2020 were no exception, with historians invited to offer guidance in the face of “unprecedented” challenges to our social and environmental fabric. But what illumination, inspiration or consolation can we meaningfully draw from the past? In revisiting the history of environmental, medical and technological hazards, this paper explores the histories of snakebite, aircraft accidents and epidemics. Did common threads unite efficacious responses to these challenges? Did they offer partial immunity from recurrent threats, or merely the illusion of protection? And what was the most effective scale of intervention — local, national or global? Moreover, how might we translate our history for the futures that we face together?
