To cap off this week of science Nobels was the Ig Nobels, Cambridge’s own premier prizes for the most hilarious and ridiculous research. News@nature.com has a blow-by-blow account of yesterday evening’s ceremonies. More coverage to come soon from the Nature news folks, including further in-depth analysis (don’t know how deeply one can analyze research on things like why woodpeckers don’t get headaches—one of last night’s winners) and a podcast, so stay tuned.
