- gus_massa 4y agoI agree. For mathematicians it's getting usual that if you are famous enough, at your 60th birthday you organize a congress where you invite your famous enough colleagues (bonus points if they are from other universities or countries, I guess you have a few if you are famous enough). I'm not sure if other professions have a similar event praising you before you are dead. Fake Edit: Sport players have some ceremony when they retire.
