* In what circumstances can the views of an individual scientist be indicative of the views of their community? (Jacob MacKinnon, Joshua Payne Smith)
* Is it possible for a community to say that they do not accept a theory, but in reality they do? Are there any historical examples of a case like this? (Jaqueline Sereda)
* The second law in its current formulation (as a conditional statement) allows for the possibility that a theory meets the requirements of the employed method but is not accepted. However the TSC's current position on the matter is that if the outcome of theory assessment is acceptance, the theory is necessarily accepted. How should the second law be reformulated to take this into account? (Mirka Loiselle)
