Update: The Language and life research cluster

In March I joined the Language and Life research cluster, which is part of the Distributed Language Group, under the direction of Stephen Cowley. In June, at the Gathering in Biosemiotics in New York, some of us met and talked about the next step. We agreed that arranging a one-day Language and Life event adjoined to a bigger academic event - perhaps the Gathering in biosemiotics to take place in Tartu, Estonia, next summer, makes sense. A discussion about this and some topical issues is now taking place in the cluster via email.
