Nagyon köszönöm, @Zsófia Végvári, Kántor Endre, és Réka Back - szerintem pörgős és változatos volt a beszélgetés, és sok fontos témát érintettünk a tudomány, a művészetek és a mesterséges intelligencia kapcsolatáról... #itbn

"...the scientific system was never designed for equity. For people whose privilege stems from geography, institutional reputation and inherited networks, the system works perfectly the way it is." - How to get rid of privileges & unequity that are part of the system?

Körber European Science Prize 2025 went to @Stephanie Wehner. Impressive award ceremony in Hamburg - inspirational to see a modest, young ethical hecker and female computer scientist with a small child being honored for her great contributons to the quantum internet! @koerber-ip.bsky.social

Looking very much forward to our talk with Zsofia Vegvari about 'AI as researcher' at the hashtag#itbn cybersecurity conference today! (Still need to prepare a bit for it... Plus correct some grant application for my PhD student before I can go to sleep)

Photo of the UK (near London) we took while on plane with my daughter coming back from the StrayKids concert...

Exact description of my situation - but please do not forget my kids/family. A third thing to feel sorry about if you want to work or rest instead... And my kids have a fantastic 2.5 month summer holiday period...

I should have bought a T-shirt with me to London for this FANtastic concert with text like: 'I am here only because of my daughter' (on a father) or rather 'I am here for my daughter, but also for Felix' (on a mother). Was a fantastic mother-daughter programme. SKZ and STAY forever!

Well, first, I am not convinced about the originality of the quote ;-), second, I am not sure I could solve differential equations, but I could for sure use this time for many other more important things.

Spending time with my two beloved kids at Lake Balaton I am wondering whether I should add a similar sentence to my next publication or thesis or not...

It’s not the career difficulty itself that leads to regret — it’s how we respond to it. People who actively engage in "repair strategies" (reclaiming, enriching, mobilizing) are better equipped to move forward without lingering regret. See below: bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Last day of our conference ending by Bettina Ughy's great talk about redefining cell counting of unicellular organisms, + talks of the 4 poster prize awardees. (Also special thanks to her as she mentioned my talk & our data about plastids in buds.) Best conference ever. remedicon.hu/346/photosyn...

Just having our fantastic international Photosynthesis conference at Lake Balaton - I just finished my talk about "the life of a leaf", will chair a session soon and then be on the poster jury with Barry Bruce and Anja Krieger-Liszkay.

Old piece but still quite relevant! More than ever - when we see that there are too many doctoral candidates trained, most of whom will not find job in academia...

Great THX to BSc students Lili Hanzmann, Nati Radványi & Máté Biczó & doctoral candidate Helga Fanni Schubert for joining me at the Museum's Nights event at ELTE TTK Természetrajzi Múzeum with plant, algal & environmental microscopic sample demonstration to lay people today. Science outreach rulez!

Finally some good directions towards sustainable solutions for the wellbeing of the parent and the child, of both partners and the family... There are no solutions for mothers in science without fathers who care! @mothersinsci.bsky.social #womeninscience

Honoured and thrilled to participate in a panel at this conference. More than ever before we need to rethink urban sustainability in a world where rural population is decreasing & urban migration prevails, all this in the frame of climate change.

Több, mint egy éve készülünk erre a felmérésre. Sok verzió volt belőle, sok fontos kérdést ki kellett vegyünk belőle (de még így is hosszú) - viszont nagyon fontos, hogy mindenki a megkapott személyre szóló link alapján kitöltse. Töltsétek ki! (A kitöltés teljesen anonim.) mta.hu/mta_hirei/me...
