When you love history and evolutionary biology, every time you go to a bookstore in England, you feel like a kid in a candy store.
So, here you can find all the latest novelties from the world of scientific literature.
You can also visit local bookstores to present new books and meet interesting people.
Oxford is actively promoting "Lifelong learning" and "continuing education", where people of different ages and backgrounds can become students again.
So, English universities always "brag" about their oldest graduates, one of the oldest of them, Archie White, was 96 (!) years old.
The advantages of continuing your education can be listed for a long time.
I'm pretty sure that studying at a more mature age is cool.
You understand and know yourself better, what interests you, and this new experience allows you to form a new social environment with people who have similar interests.
I recommend a selection of Oxford Notes in the blog for those who are interested in England.
I've been thoroughly hooked on books and materials on evolutionary biology and psychology, ethology, and neurophysiology, and I don't know how to stop.
Dawkins, Sapolsky, Lorenz, Chopra, Harari, Pinker, Peterson... I listen to lectures by Dubynin (I went to his special course at the Moscow State University Faculty of Biology) and Drobyshevsky.
To be honest, I haven't read fiction for 5 years (but I don't feel like it either), only popular science: biology, genetics, neurology, all kinds of naturalistic topics…
All this intellectual vinaigrette in my head is also accompanied by reading historical blogs about comparing the crisis of the Roman Republic and the transition to empire and the United States now, the Civil War in the States, as well as books about feminism.
Something like that…

And some more facts about England:
The place where my heart belongs.
Oxford University Press 400 years old!
And the university itself is 930 years old.
It would be great to live in good health for another 70 years and have a grand party for the Oxfordian millennium.
A new purpose in life is available.
It's so easy to feel like a teenager in these centuries-old walls, no matter how old you are.
