On my way to the IgNobel Prizes!!!!
It’s that time of year again, and Sci is current en route to the Ignobel Prizes, held every year at Harvard. It’s the best, and funniest, scientific award, for the great science that first makes you laugh…but then makes you THINK.

It's that time of year again, and Sci is current en route to the Ignobel Prizes, held every year at Harvard. It's the best, and funniest, scientific award, for the great science that first makes you laugh...but then makes you THINK. I will be live tweeting the ceremony starting at 6:00EDT, AND there will be a live feed of the ceremony right here at this blog! And after the ceremony is over, start checking the blog for updates, there will be a blog post on every single bit of weird science! And all the science at the IgNobels counts as weird science. Keep an eye on the twitter and an eye on the blog, and get ready for the Ignobels!!
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
