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

Une nouvelle réussite de la politique trumpienne:

"Scientific awards – which honor research that makes people laugh and then think – to move away from ‘unsafe’ US"

Quand on fait tout pour être repoussant, on finit par y arriver 🤷

Chaussures odorantes, chauves-souris alcoolisées… Les IgNobels, prix d’une science pas trop sérieuse Pour leur 35e édition, les IgNobels ont récompensé des recherches sérieuses mais qui ne se prennent pas au sérieux. L’objectif de ces prix parodiques des célèbres Nobels est de prêter à sourire… et à ...

J’avais complètement zappé les #ignobels Vite, on rectifie ! Et il y a du costaud encore cette année.

@letschangecambridge.us Oo, wish I didn't have a conflict that night. I think this is the first time the ceremony will take place south of the Charles! I've only ever attended #igNobels at Sanders Theater.

For Dr. Nakamats, aging is just experience in action Always trying to solve the problems of modern life, the perennial candidate refuses to bow to societal expectations of age.

I've long loved the #Ignobels. If you love #science, it's great. If you don't know what #STEM is, you may still be surprised to find yourself laughing along. Check out past winners on the site for an idea. #SciComm

Necrophilia among ducks ruffles research feathers The strange case of the homosexual necrophiliac duck pushed out the boundaries of knowledge in a rather improbable way when it was recorded by Dutch researcher Kees Moeliker.

The Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes that honor "achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think." Check out the winners!
