Ig(TM)Nobel Awards 2000 Webcast
I am pleased to announce that on Thursday 5 October, 7.30pm (EST) Boston
time, ChemWeb.com (http://www.chemweb.com) and BioMedNet
(http://www.bmn.com), the intelligent twins of science, will broadcast the
2000 Ig(TM)Nobel awards live on the Internet at:
from the Sanders Theatre at Harvard University.
A spoof of the Nobel Awards, the Ig(TM)Nobels are designed to celebrate the
unusual, honour the imaginative and spur people's interest in science. The
ten prize winners are unique individuals who have done some truly unexpected
research. They are honoured for their achievements that 'cannot or should
not be reproduced'.
The event is produced by the Annals of Improbable Research (AIR),
http://www.improbable.com, the international humour magazine of science,
medicine and technology.
It will be interesting to see if the discoveries by this year's winners for
Chemistry and Biology can surpass those of last year. For Chemistry, Takeshi
Makino, won an award for his involvement in the development of S-Check, a
combination of two sprays and chemicals to be applied to underwear to catch
out would be philanderers. For Biology, Dr Paul Bosland won an Ig for
breeding a spiceless jalapeno pepper. Meanwhile for Medicine Dr Arvid Vatle
got his award for collating what type of receptacle patients use when
submitting a urine sample.
