Ig Nobel Prize ceremony moves abroad over US safety fears : This is not satire, but we wish it was

The annual Ig Nobels, the awards for odd and funny scientific achievement, will be held outside the United States for the first time in its 36 years because of concerns about attendees' safety. The 2026 ceremony, which takes place in September ahead of the Nobel Prizes, will be held in Zurich […]

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas Scientific awards – which honor research that makes people laugh and then think – to move away from ‘unsafe’ US

Welcome to Europe, indeed a safer place than the U.S.

We should have an alternative called the "Nohel Prize" - as in no hell, no way are you ever winning a Peace Prize.

I pitched this to the #IgNobelPrize Committee, to laugh at the dire straights we are in, but it was too grim for them.

Does painting cows with stripes prevent fly bites? Researchers who studied this win Ig Nobel prize A researcher who studied fingernail growth and a group that explored whether painting zebralike stripes on cows reduced fly bites are among the winners of this year's Ig Nobels.

The Ig Nobel prize for... weird science... because we never know which discoveries will bear fruit later or what we might learn about scientific methods along the way.

The 2025 #IgNobelPrize in #Psychology went to Marcin Zajenkowski & Gilles Gignac for showing that simply telling people they’re intelligent can instantly boost their #narcissism. Even more ironic: those who got positive feedback trusted the “scientific validity” of the #IQ test much more: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2021.101595 Just like in academia: we believe in the scientific truth of h-index, or Scopus, or GS, or even RG likes, depending on which one flatters us most.
