Podcasts about ignobels

The Ig Nobel awards are a salute to achievements that, in the words of the organizers, “make people laugh, then think.”  Each year, the editors of the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research choose 10 lucky(?) winners who have unusual achievements in science, medicine, and other fields. This year's awards were presented in a theatrical extravaganza in an MIT lecture hall in September.They included awards for studying coin flipping (including hundreds of thousands of real coin flips), the movements of a dead trout, and an opera about Murphy's Law. In a Science Friday holiday tradition, Ira hosts an hour of highlights from the ceremony.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Science correspondent Siouxsie Wiles joins Kathryn to talk about new research into a potential vaccine against autoimmune diseases, why cats love tuna so much and it's IgNobel time - when the best of the weird research is celebrated. It includes a robot study based on dead spiders, a toilet that monitors your health and jamais vu - that feeling when something familiar is suddenly...unfamiliar. Associate Professor Dr Siouxsie Wiles is the head of Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland

It's the IgNobels! Michael Edwards at Science East will join us to talk through his favourite winners of this year's odd science prize.

Parfois l'envie irrépressible de tirer ou plier les doigts jusqu'au crac libérateur se fait sentir.  Cette libération s'accompagne néanmoins d'un petit doute: est-ce bon ou mauvais pour les os de se craquer les jointures? Des chercheurs (très dédiés) s'y sont penchés durant des décennies.  Avec Baptiste Zapirain et Charles Trahan Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

This week Broderick dives into the quirky world of the Ignobel Prizes. With talking cats, old chewing gum and beard research we hope this episode will make you laugh and make you think!

Salve, caros Laureados! No episódio de hoje, tivemos a honra de receber a Fabi e o Igor (vulgo 14) para selecionarmos os melhores prêmios igNobels que já foram atribuídos. Você não faz ideia do que seja? Te dou um exemplo: houve uma prova e uma contra prova que a coca cola tem propriedade que matariam espermatozoides. Como eles fizeram isso? Fica aí a grande dúvida.

Deze praattafel brengt weer een aantal feiten boven waar we nooit meer zonder kunnen. Een reactor die niet radioactief is, Justus Von Liebig in het licht gezet en er zijn mensen bij wie je beter niet met een bloemetje afkomt. De schattige Axolotl heeft zeer bijzondere kenmerken waar we veel van kunnen opsteken. In de IgNobels over mensen die hun overleiden uitstellen om fiscale redenen en dan de fobieën van de week. Anthrofobie en iets met het duivelsgetal '666'.Geniet van een volgepakte show met tal van trivia om in elk gezelschap weer te kunnen verbazen.

Science commentator Siouxsie Wiles joins Kathryn to talk about the latest Covid studies, including one into super-spreading events. Researchers have figured out how houses could be made on Mars from a common biological substance called chitin. And it's IgNobel time - Siouxsie looks at some of her favourites.

The Ig Nobel Prizes honour achievements that first make us laugh, then make us think. We take a look atthis year's winners: from dung beetles to penis amputations! MEDICINE PRIZEA team of scientists from Japan, China and the UK for assessing the effect of listening to opera, on heart transplant patients who are mice.Classical music affects heart transplants PSYCHOLOGY PRIZEScientists from France, the USA, UK, The Netherlands, and Poland for confirming, by experiment, that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive.“Beauty in the eyes of the beer holder” – people who think they're drunk, think they're hot JOINT PRIZE IN BIOLOGY AND ASTRONOMYA team from Australia, Sweden, Germany, South Africa and the UK for discovering that when dung beetles get lost, they can navigate their way home by looking at the Milky Way.Dung Beetles Watch the Galaxy (That's How They Roll) ARCHAEOLOGY PRIZEAmericans Brian Crandall and Peter Stahl, for parboiling a dead shrew, and then swallowing the shrew without chewing, and then carefully examining everything excreted during subsequent days — all so they could see which bones would dissolve inside the human digestive system, and which bones would not.Missing morsels – chewing over the results of eating a shrew SAFETY ENGINEERING PRIZEThe late Gustano Pizzo for inventing an electro-mechanical system to trap airplane hijackers — the system drops a hijacker through trap doors, seals him into a package, then drops the encapsulated hijacker through the airplane's specially-installed bomb bay doors, whence he parachutes to earth, where police, having been alerted by radio, await his arrival.IgNobels, 2013: The Safety Engineering Prize! PHYSICS PRIZEScientists from Italy, UK, Denmark, Switzerland, Russia, and France for discovering that some people would be physically capable of running across the surface of a pond — if those people and that pond were on the moon.Could humans run on water? CHEMISTRY PRIZEA team of Japanese scientists for for discovering that the biochemical process by which onions make people cry is even more complicated than scientists previously realised.GM could hold back the tears PEACE PRIZEAlexander Lukashenko, president of Belarus, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding.What is the sound of one hand clapping? PROBABILITY PRIZEScientists from the UK, the Netherlands and Canada for making two related discoveries: First, that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely that cow will soon stand up; and Second, that once a cow stands up, you cannot easily predict how soon that cow will lie down again.Why do cows have their ups and downs? PUBLIC HEALTH PRIZESeven doctors in Thailand for the medical techniques described in their report “Surgical Management of an Epidemic of Penile Amputations in Siam” — techniques which they recommend, except in cases where the amputated penis had been partially eaten by a duck.Reattachment of the penis. Unless it was first eaten by a duck.

Especial de fin de año! En este episodio titulado “Feliz Saturnalia!” dejamos el espíritu navideño en la pura música, y nos sentamos a hacer memoria sobre los grandes hitos de este año 2010 que se nos va (por fin!), y tiramos la talla sobre los IgNobels, los scholar-fans, la tercera cultura como movimiento y la “farandulización de la ciencia” (y el porqué LUN nos lee a nosotros, LOL) todo al ritmo de Disco Noel y The Ramones.
