QuoteFor those in the Boston area, a second part of the Ig Nobel tradition is that the winners give public lectures on their research the Saturday after the ceremony. This year's lectures will take place at MIT's Building 26, Room 100 at 1:00 PM on Saturday, October 1st. Admission is free, but seating is limited.
You can still make it! See the Ignobel prizes, it looks like a shitload of fun!!
There's lectures from Japanese researchers that made a wasabi-based fire alarm, and the mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania, who battled illegal parking by driving a tank over them, and more great stuff!
Wait no that was a few hours ago, sorry, miscounted the timezones.
