The 2024 Ig Nobel Prize ceremony
The Ig Nobel Prizes, organized by the Annals of Improbable Research, were presented at MIT on September 12. This is a resumption of the customary live ceremony after a three-year Covid break.
The ten prizes are presented by genuine Nobel laureates. And, yes, that really is Julie Vargas, daughter of the famous psychologist BF Skinner.
It’s serious business.
The ABC’s Anna Salleh has an introduction to this year’s Ig Nobels (note the pigeon), and the BBC’s Science Focus has a list of prize-winners, with short descriptions of their work.
There no Australians in the prize list.
