Today, Saturday, May 1, we’re doing the big (free) event at the Cambridge Science Festival — public readings from studies that have won Ig Nobel Prizes, plus Ig Nobel opera songs performed by Neara Russell and Julia Lunetta. Spread the word, please! Please spread the word!
We’ll select the readings from all 19 years of Ig winners. There are four separate sessions, each with a different theme:
Noon — How People Behave
2:00 pm — Things & Inventions
3:30 pm — Boys Will Be Boys *
*CONTENT WARNING: The 3:30 event features subjects that are either, depending on your viewpoint, “adult” or “very adolescent”. Everyone is welcome — but… if you have a delicate sensibility about research that is either “adult” or “adolescent”, you will want to avoid the 3:30 pm session.
