BBC News – Alligator on gas snaps up Ig Nobel prize https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54197198
The annual IG Nobel awards, a bit of levity with serious undertones (Not to be confused with a Dime bar) in an often far too serious world.
Other awards of note include
Management: Xi Guang-An, Mo Tian-Xiang, Yang Kang-Sheng, Yang Guang-Sheng, and Ling Xian Si – five professional hitmen in Guangxi, China, who subcontracted a murder one to the other with none of them in the end actually carrying out the crime.
The IGNobel committee
Medical Education: Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the USA, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.
Truth is some of the supposedly silly research highlighted by the IG Nobel awards do have sensible benefits to society.
