This is a reminder for the panel “The Persistence of The Sophists,” being organized by Christopher Moore and the APS and taking place on Friday, May 14th at 11am Eastern Time. It looks to be an excellent event — slightly different format, but same basic idea: what are we to think about “the sophists” (the individuals, the movement, the concept) going forward?

Dear APS Community,

This is a reminder that the May 1st submission deadline for the ZOOM APS conference this June 10-13 is approaching. Please send in a submission if you can. See the attached flyer for information.

Best,

Michael Shaw
