Studying the Natural Sciences at a Later Age
Question
Do you think it’s possible to start studying for a degree in mathematics or physics at age 26–27? I’m not asking from the practical standpoint of managing life, but from a cognitive standpoint—whether it’s still possible to absorb the complicated and new concepts there when starting at a relatively late age.
Answer
I don’t know how it is with mice, but with human beings, age 26–27 is young.
