Can I use the word nowadays in a simple past sentence?
For example: This work was initiated by Boris Schnaiderman in the 1960s and continued by me nowadays"

No, in this context one would use "today". "Nowadays" is pretty much universally used in blanket, present tense statements; "nowadays kids are terrible" "you can't find decent beer anywhere nowadays"
