Suggested as Editor-in-Chief of Biosemiotics; input on the field given

Just before Christmas Biosemiotics' Editor-in-Chief Marcello Barbieri contacted me writing that he was stepping down as Editor-in-Chief, and that he had told Springer's Senior Editor Catherine Cotton that he thinks I am the best candidate to be his successor. I am deeply honoured by his proposal.

A few days back Catherine Cotton wrote to all members of the editorial board of Biosemiotics, asking for input on the road ahead for the journal (she has not contacted me personally directly). Today I have submitted my input to her, which is substantially a map of biosemiotics and its subfields and related fields, with experts in each category named.
