The Ig Informal Lectures happen today, beginning at 1:00 pm, at MIT Building 10, Room 250, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
The new Ig Nobel Prize winners will explain, as best they can, why they did what they did. Each talk will be a maximum of five (5) minutes long. The lecturers will be joined by several past Ig winners, in the presence of autodidactic hecklers, and possibly some Mozart-playing accordianists.
Admission is free — but the room is (like many rooms) of limited size, so it’s a good idea to get there early.
