199 1 year, on a quiet night, more than 300 people crowded into a museum at MIT and held an award ceremony quietly. Everyone is sneaking around, because they think that sooner or later the leader will come in to stop this boring thing and send everyone home to wash and sleep. However, no one stopped, and the awards ceremony and awards were all hot. This is the Ig Nobel Prize.
After four Igno awards were awarded, because of a complaint from an administrator in Massachusetts, the award gala was changed to the Sanders Theatre of Harvard University two miles away, until now. At 6: 00 pm EST 14, 20 17 "Ig Nobel Prize" was officially released at the Sanders Theatre of Harvard University. This year's award-winning works are as long as "it's a long story" and "unbearable to look back".
Moreover, the award ceremony is a big chain. The awarding guests are all real Nobel Prize winners, and some people have won the Ig Nobel Prize, and it took several years to get the real Nobel Prize. Even those who are responsible for pulling the curtain and sweeping the stage are serious researchers.
It has been 25 years since 199 1 was launched. Every year, 10 research fields win prizes, including five fields of traditional Nobel Prize: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace, plus public health, engineering, biology and other disciplines.
Sounds very happy. Although the research results of the "Ig Nobel Prize" winners are usually absurd, in fact, most of the winners are in high spirits. After all, this award encourages "unusual imagination and creativity" and embodies the humanity and interesting side of scientific research. Generally speaking, this is a kind of relaxed happiness, so don't take it too seriously. As the founder of the Ig Nobel Prize said, the significance of holding this activity is to arouse public interest in scientific research and bring people a lot of joy.
