Ig Nobel Prizes Awarded for Quirky Scientific Research
The annual Ig Nobel Prizes have been awarded to ten research teams for studies deemed "unlikely to be replicated, and whatever their findings are, they will never be repeated." This year's ceremony, the 36th edition, was hosted in Europe with a "fungi" theme. Among the honorees were scientists who studied cockroach milk, the aerodynamics of nose-blowing, and the definition of kissing. The awards aim to celebrate strange, funny, and thought-provoking research. The ceremony was hosted outside the U.S. for the first time due to travel concerns.
