Tuesday afternoon, the Ig Nobel EuroTour arrives in Stockholm, Sweden—featuring cookies, cannibalism, a-fly-in-wine, and all sorts of other prize-winning things that make people LAUGH, then THINK.
April 9, Tuesday, 3:00 pm—Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, in the Biomedicum lecture hall—FREE ADMISSION, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC—[PREVIEW]—Marc Abrahams and
- Ig Nobel Prize winner Len Fisher (the optimal way to dunk a biscuit)
- Ig Nobel Prize winner James Cole (nutritional value of human cannibalism)
- Ig Nobel Prize winners Peter Witzgall, Erika Wallin, Marie Bengtsson (detecting, by smell, the presence of a single fly in a glass of wine)
And tomorrow, at Stockholm University…
Tomorrow, Wednesday April 10, the same people, more or less—and a few others, too!—will appear at Stockholm University, in the Alba Nova, at 3:00 pm.
Tour Subsequent Events
After that, the Ig Nobel EuroTour will move on to Norway, Germany, and Italy (again).
