This is now running at https://scholia.toolforge.org/work/Q63433973

I am going to close this. This has been running for now. There is still the concern that this indirectly reveals an approximate age. If people fell that this is a problem we can remove it.

Academic age could perhaps also be displayed in other panels, e.g., organization?
