    I bet he is not politically correct.

    Good on him. The world needs more botanists. The safety objection is interesting. Does the university fear being sued if he falls down the stairs or has a heart attack? Why would his age make any difference to the probability of a compo. claim?

    I would be lucky to reach 102, never mind keep on working. Good on him, if that is what floats his boat.
