At 18th gathering in biosemiotics, Berkeley

I arrived in Berkeley, California, last night, to attend the 18th Gathering in Biosemiotics, held here at University of California Berkeley June 17-20th and convened by Terrence Deacon and Yogi Hendlin. The conference, which seems to have attracted an attendance of about 100 people, takes place at International House at the campus of UC-Berkeley.

This is my first visit to California, and my second visit to the USA (I also attended the 2011 gathering in biosemiotics in New York).
