Scientific mission
After arriving back to the city, I got a call from a previous employer of mine. They needed an experienced editor/reporter for the Celebration of Hungarian Science, a one month long serial of approximately four hundred event all over the country. I grabbed the opportunity — it’s hopefully the last temporary assignment before a long-term job. The salary is all right and the task is really fitted to my skills.
A nice side-effect of this work that I can hear a lot of interesting presentations in every scientific areas from IT-science to numismatology or biology. I can also improve my press-photo skills, since I also have to be a photo reporter when needed.
It’s really strange how few people attend these events. Sometimes it’s only me and the hosts. In the national Museum, when the Numismatic Department introduced itself, there was an old lady besides of me. It is strange because it was an exceptionally interesting evening: we were let to take genuine five or more hundred year old coins in our hands. Of course, it is partly because the communication of the events are worse than terrible. Evidently even the Hungarian Academy of Sciences cannot afford itself to believe that everybody is curious about them. It’s not enough to organize en event: audience also have to be taken care of.
