I wonder if any of the entomologists are interested in sports. At least as a fan. To be honest, for several years of communicating with colleagues at conferences, congresses and other events, I only once met a young man from Kiev who is fond of football. We even watched a couple of matches together on TV while we were in Moscow for a symposium on smartphones. However, after a while he gave up entomology.
As a resident of Vladivostok, I am not at all spoiled by sports shows of the highest level, and being on business trips, I try in every possible way to fill this gap. But going to sports alone is boring. In St. Petersburg, for example, friends who have no idea about entomology, but understand sports, help out. But I don't have such friends in Moscow. That's all there is to it. On September 24, Lokomotiv-Rubin, and on September 27, CSKA-Inter. I will be in Moscow at this time and I want to go to a soccer game. Can someone make a company?

in connection with the topic of a funny story. Since I am an employee of the botanical garden, I communicate with botanists for obvious reasons. Nerd as an offensive nickname is not very suitable for the bulk of my colleagues and friends-here are just powerful guys, and kms in judo and just fans of fighting.
On one of my expeditions to the Ukok Plateau, my friend Sergey Smirnov (who is also hardly a botanist) looked around and saw the following picture. A dozen foreheads with oblique fathoms in their shoulders pluck flowers, sniff them, look into the corollas, and talk peacefully about something. And in the background, a fragile virgin geographer from Moscow - Katya kaylom hammers permafrost punching another pit. According to my friend , this was the moment when he experienced the most acute shame in his life.
