2nd day of 22nd Gathering in Biosemiotics; presentation by Sharov & Tønnessen on semiotic agency; 2 meetings
Today I have attended the second day of the 22nd Gathering in biosemiotics, which included a presentation by Alexei Sharov and me, held and prepared by Alexei and drawing on our book Semiotic agency: Science beyond mechanism, entitled "Toward a theory of semiotic agency". Maybe 50 people attended. The presentation was also live-streamed and is available via YouTube (see recordings from second day of the conference).
I have also attended half the editorial board meeting of Biosemiotics, at the conference venue, and attended a digital meeting with colleagues at University of Stavanger.

Biosemiotics editorial board meeting attended
Today I have attended the annual editorial board of Biosemiotics, which took place via Zoom. The editorial board meeting was attended by some 20 people, under the leadership of the new Editor-in-Chief, Yogi Hendlin and co-Editor in Chief Alexei Sharov.
In 2020, my last year as lead Editor-in-Chief, the Impact Factor went down from 2019, but the number of downloads increased to record numbers (ca. 59.000, vs. 44.000 in 2019). In 2021, both the number of articles published and the number of article downloads have increased to new record-levels, while processing times have decreased significantly (probably partly due to the new editorial setup with several Associate editors).
