“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.”
Hungary seems to be drifting further from that principle. telex.hu/english/2025...

🙈 🌞 One of those days: one young researcher’s award snub and two abstract rejects (from the same conference!) all stocked for the end of January (at least it’s over). To top it all off, I burned lunch. Gonna wipe the tears with our latest paper – also published today as the highlight of the day!
