The Ig Nobel Prize comes from Zürich, Switzerland, this year instead of the US.
Reason starts with with a T.
Sure, like in travel, 😉.

I got curious where (outside the US) the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony would be held this year.
Looks like I wondered about this way too late because all the tickets except "Billionaire" tickets are sold out and sold out within a short period of being released in May.
And here I thought I might finally be able to attend in person... (ooh, scratch that. Even if tix were available, the lowest rung is about ~$110).

Ces 3 ratios pour penser l'articulation alimentation / santé sont intéressants.
Mais un gros bémol sur le concept de "zones bleues" (Okinawa) :
il est soumis à controverse scientifique depuis les travaux du chercheur démographe australien Saul Newman (prix #IgNobel 2024), contre qui se liguent les lobbies des pilules et méthodes de #BienÊtre/#NewAge/#DéveloppementPersonnel et leurs complices scientifiques…Un vidéaste scientifique a récemment (03/06/2026) mené l'enquête et expliqué la démonstration de Saul Newman :

Crap, today is the 30th annual and final Dead Duck Day with @keesmoeliker retiring.
I'd love to attend, but I already committed to going to a concert tonight with a friend, and going from there to the concert would mean that just a single missed connection has me arriving pretty much as the concert starts (might not even be allowed in after the start). It would also involve about 2.5h additionally on public transport, would mean eating on the go as I won't have time for dinner, and that all on a day I'm already tired, just to attend a 20 minute event.
It normally would have been a no-brainer to go, but the timing is very unfortunate; between the concert and this week having been very draining, I just don't think I have the energy to stress about missed connections tonight.If you however are near Rotterdam and don't feel stressed thinking of getting to and from the Museum of Natural History, you can find tickets to the event on their website: https://www.hetnatuurhistorisch.nl/bezoek/activiteiten/activiteit/dead-duck-day-voor-de-laatste-keer-bij-het-museum-5-juni-2026/ For more info also see the site of Improbable Research: https://improbable.com/2026/06/03/dead-duck-day-celebration-friday-june-5/

#TIL In the 1950s, #scientists cooled hamsters/rats to near-freezing and used #microwave diathermy to revive them. Not quite “frozen mice in a microwave,” but still a wonderfully weird chapter in cryobiology history. 🐹❄️📡

A research echoed recently by a team from #germany #fau that succeeded in preserving #brain tissue through extreme deep #freezing

Premi Física Ig Nobel 2024 - EUA
Jaume C. Liao, per demostrar i explicar les habilitats de natació d'una truita morta.
Liao va descobrir que les truites només activen els músculs de la part anterior (el cap), mentre que la resta del cos es mou de forma passiva, moguda per l'energia del propi fluid. Aquest comportament permet al peix mantenir la posició en un corrent fort amb un cost energètic mínim.

Premi Medicina Ig Nobel 2024 - SUÏSSA, ALEMANYA, BÈLGICA
L. A. Schenk, T. Fadai i C. Büchel, per demostrar que la medicina falsa que causa efectes secundaris dolorosos pot ser més eficaç que la medicina falsa que no causa efectes secundaris dolorosos.
L'eficàcia d'un tractament no només depèn de la seva farmacologia, sinó de la certesa del pacient.
L'efecte secundari "prova" que el medicament és real/potent.

Premi Anatomia Ig Nobel 2024 - FRANÇA, XILE
M. Willems, Q. Hennocq, S. T. de Lara, N. Kogane, V. Fleury, R. Rayssiguier, J. J. Cortés Santander, R. Requena, J. Stirnemann i R. Hossein Khonsari, per estudiar si el pèl de la majoria de gent de l'hemisferi nord gira en la mateixa direcció que el dels caps de la majoria de gent a l'hemisferi sud.
El remolí és un "marcador extern" de com està organitzat el teu cervell (dretà o esquerrà).

Premi De La Pau Ig Nobel 2024 - EUA
B.F. (anglès) Skinner, per als experiments per veure la viabilitat d'allotjar coloms vius dins de míssils per guiar els camins de vol dels míssils.
Els coloms poden ser entrenats per picotejar un objectiu en una pantalla amb precisió matemàtica, fins i tot en condicions de soroll extrem, caigudes de pressió o acceleracions brusques.

Premi Aviació Ig Nobel 2025 - COLÒMBIA, ISRAEL ARGENTINA, ALEMANYA, REGNE UNIT, ITÀLIA, EUA, PORTUGAL, ESPANYA
F. Sánchez, M. Melcón, C. Korine i B. Pinshow, per estudiar si l'alcohol perjudica la capacitat dels ratpenats per volar i la ecolocalització.
Varen assolir nivells considerats embriaguesa severa en humans (> 0,12% de concentració en sang)
Van continuar esquivant obstacles amb la mateixa habilitat que quan estaven sobris.

Premi Disseny d'Enginyeria Ig Nobel 2025 - ÍNDIA
Vikash Kumar i Sarthak Mittal, per analitzar, des d'una perspectiva de disseny d'enginyeria, com les sabates d'olor fètida afecten l'experiència d'utilitzar un sabater.
L'estudi identifica un buit en el mercat de mobles: mentre que s'ha innovat en gairebé tots els electrodomèstics, el sabater s'ha mantingut com una "caixa de fusta o plàstic" gairebé sense canvis des de fa dècades, ignorant necessitats ergonòmiques de salut i confort.

Premi A la Pau Ig Nobel 2025 - PAÏSOS BAIXOS, REGNE UNIT, ALEMANYA
Fritz Renner, Inge Kersbergen, Matt Field i Jessica Werthmann, per demostrar que beure alcohol de vegades millora la capacitat d'una persona per parlar en una llengua estrangera.
L'estudi va trobar que el consum d'una quantitat baixa d'alcohol (una cervesa de 250ml de 5% per a un home de 70kg) realment millora la capacitat de parlar una llengua estrangera.
