Hello, I just joined.

Worked a long time in (civil) nuclear, in connection with the safety organisations. I'm retired from paid employment but I learned some time ago that scientists don't stop working simply because they're retired, they just no longer get paid for it.

Long time interested in cosmology, mathematics which I can turn my attention to now I have the time.
