other Pursuing academic career vs increasing age

[Dr. A]

I have known people who practically never stop studying! They take up one course after another despite their increasing age. I know of a 76 year old man who still knows the latest in his field and tries to take up relevant courses to learn the new technology! This makes me wonder, if age really matters when trying to grasp new things? Could you still pursue new academic courses at an older age? Can our brain understand, process and retain new information despite the age?

I believe it's never too late to learn and grow. But going to college when you are too old certainly looks odd.
