The joke was that Hungarian scientists are actually descendants of a Martian scout force which landed in Budapest around the year 1900, and later departed after the planet was found unsuitable, but leaving behind children by several Earth women, children who all became the famous scientists. John von Neumann used a number of facts as mock evidence to support this claim, such as the close geographic proximity of the Martians' birthplaces; the well-traceable career path, which started with an interest in chemistry, led the individual in question to German universities where he moved towards physics, at which point the Martian left Europe for the US.

Academia vs Science.
I don’t see a sustainable science coming out of the meaningless game of excellence, publishing, and grant writing.
What my research indicated is that detecting and correcting issues in science, is too difficult to be sustainable. What my research also indicated, is that going back to the drawing board allows us to tackle issues in a much more straightforward, simplistic, and encompassing manner.
And if there’s an anecdotal thing I’ve learned: People want futures they can be a part of and experience, not just ones to think about and fight for.

NWO’tje spelen.
NWO, die jaarlijks bijna een miljard euro verdeelt onder wetenschappers, wil bovendien waar mogelijk de strakke deadlines op het indienen van onderzoeksvoorstellen afschaffen en een systeem van ‘doorlopend indienen’ invoeren. Dat voorkomt, zegt Duisenberg, dat onderzoekers „moeten rennen om het hekje te halen en voortdurend bezig zijn met korte sprints”.
