Ig Nobel Prizes - Research that makes you laugh, then think

So you've heard of the Nobel Prizes, but have you heard of their comedic cousin, the Ig Nobel Prizes?

Every year, ten pieces of real, peer-reviewed research win an Ig Nobel Prize for achievements that make people laugh, then make them think. Drunk worms sorted by chromatography. Sex studied inside an MRI machine. Decisions made differently on a full bladder versus an empty one.

Marc Abrahams, who founded the prize in 1991 and still runs it, brings Ig Nobel laureates on stage to tell their own stories — what they actually studied, how the idea started, and what happened once the world found out.

This is not your average research lecture or science slam. Expect real science presented with a healthy dose of absurdity and playfulness. If you've ever read a strange headline about science and wondered if it was real, this show is for you.
