Tom Lum visited the 35th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, on behalf of Scientific American magazine. He met some unexpected people there (Julie Mannella and the other Ig Nobel winners, opera singers, Bill Kaelin, Mariette DiChristina,…) , then crafted this video report about the experience.
Meanwhile, taking a more traditional approach, Chris Simms wrote a nice report about the Igs, for Nature magazine and for Scientific American: “Tipsy Bats and Perfect Pasta Win Ig Nobel Prizes for Weird Science Research,” Scientific American, September 19, 2025.
