Yesterday, while traveling to Thessaloniki, Greece, I had half an article writing day by reading while flying, related to my article "Wasted GDP in the USA".

Two oral presentations scheduled for the 15th World congress of semiotics

I have been scheduled to give two online talks at the 15th World congress of semiotics, with the theme "Semiotics in the lifeworld" (Thessaloniki, Greece, August 30 - September 3), both to be given on Friday September 2nd:

— 09.00-11.30 session “Biosemiotics, Umwelt, and the Lifeworld” with my presentation “Umwelt theory for practitioners: Semiotic guidelines for application in a more-than-human descriptive phenomenology” (room 1) 

— 15:00–17:30 session “Semiotics in the Disciplines: Progress and Priorities” with my presentation “Semiotics in ethology and zoology” (room 5)

I never received any formal answer concerning my 2 other submitted abstracts.
