Against the forgery of science
"To call a king "Prince" is pleasing, because it diminishes his rank." -
Blaise Pascal ("Pensées", 1670;
"Thoughts")
- Az alternatív tudományok „Kész átverés show”-ja

About the scientific publication
- Have you had a paper rejected lately?

Bad research is like spam email: they must be dealed with, although it is useless.
- Reviewing crappy journal submissions

Interviews
- Is the moon a disc or a sphere?
- The interview by the local journal appeared on Nov. 4, 2010.
