For ten years the august scientists of Harvard University have scoured the world's research establishments for the most bizarre and weird real-life scientific research. The Ig Nobel Prize honours individuals whose achievements in science cannot or should not be reproduced. Ten prizes are given to people who have done remarkably bizarre things in science over the previous year. The Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony is held in October. Prizes are awarded by genuine Nobel laureates.
