Since I enjoy meeting people interested in international affairs, I'm posting here on this site. While my main field of work is natural sciences and medicine, my personal interests lie in geography.I fill my private "space" with reading historical accounts, visiting art exhibitions, and occasionally theater performances. I gave away the television from my small apartment in the 1970s because I'm not interested in advertising, any more than I am in soccer or football; I prefer playing sports myself to watching others. I consider astronomy my hobby.
