Recently, at the end of last year, Alfréd Dulai was called upon by Arie W. Janssen to be an associate editor of Cainozoic Research. At the same time, he informed him about the fact that previously the journal already had a Hungarian associate editor, namely Professor Tamás Báldi, between 1992 and 2012. It was a confirmatory information to accept the invitation with great pleasure, as earlier he already succeeded Professor Báldi in several cases (e.g. as curator of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, or as secretary and chair of the Palaeontological and Stratigraphical Section of the Hungarian Geological Society).
