While I am not an expert in many of these areas, I have studied a little in all of them, and intend to continue to learn about many things across a very wide field so long as I can.While I usually choose to edutain myself with recorded lectures and audio books about interesting subjects, I do also enjoy the occasional novel, movie or TV series. Many of these also provide an interesting insight into the human condition.My studies and research continue on a day to day basis however my formal education also continues and receives a much higher priority when I am working towards it.
