Geophysicist, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Attila Mesko has passed away today. He was the 3rd president of Tényeket Tisztelők Társasága (Society of People Thrusting the Evidences) - the first skeptic organization in Hungary. The founding president of TTT was János Szentágothai, famous neurobiologist, he was followed by meteorologist Rudolf Czelnai. TTT was founded (though never officially registered) during the spring of 1992, short after James Randi's visit to Hungary. The Hungarian Skeptic Society is not a legal successor of TTT, but it received many of its traditions.
