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.

از سال ۱۹۹۱ به ابتکار ژورنال طنز «روزشمار تحقیقات نامحتمل» یا Annals of Improbable Research در نیمه سپتامبر و در آستانه آغاز فصل معرفی برندگان جایزه نوبل، میهمانی صمیمانه و شوخ و شنگی در دانشگاه هاروارد برگزار می‌شود که در طی آن با حضور برندگان جوایز نوبل، محققان و علاقه‌مندان علم، محققانی معرفی می‌شوند که تحقیقات آن‌ها در نگاه اول خنده‌دار به نظر می‌رسد. این برنامه طنز که با حضور برندگان برگزار می‌شود شامل بخش‌های متنوعی ازجمله یک نمایش چندبخشی کوتاه، سخنرانی‌های کوتاه، اعلام برندگان و پرتاب موشک‌های کاغذی است. این برنامه فرصتی است تا مردم با بخشی دیگر از دنیای علم و دانشمندان که بیشتر شبیه دنیای مردم عادی است آشنا شوند و کلیشه‌ای که نسبت به دانشمندان و تحقیقات علمی وجود دارد را بشکنند. در قسمت ۴۱ چیستا درباره مراسم امسال و برندگان آن صحبت شده است. «چیستا» که نام خود را از ایزدبانوی باستانی موکل بر خرد ایرانیان وام گرفته است، پادکستی از مجموعه پادکست‌های رادیو فردا است که هر دوشنبه به میزبانی پوریا ناظمی، روزنامه‌نگار علم، داستانی از دنیای علم و فناوری و آینده را روایت می‌کند. چیستا را علاوه بر وب‌سایت رادیو فردا می‌توانید در پادگیرهای مورد علاقه خود از جمله کست‌باکس بشنوید و با اشتراک آن و دعوت دوستانتان به شنیدن آن، ما را در ادامه تولید آن حمایت کنید. منابع در قسمت «بیشتر بخوانید» در زیر نوشته شدند.

The Ig Nobel Prizes recognize research efforts that make you laugh...and then think. They celebrate the unusual and honor the imaginative. They are, in my mind, a delightful and very deliberate celebration of curiosity. Ig Nobel Prize founder and editor of the magazine Annals of Improbable Research Marc Abrahams joins me to talk about the origins and contributions of this quirky prize. The awards gala is a mix of circus, opera and real Nobel Laureates, orchestrated to cheer on people who have devoted their time and talent to studying things the rest of us...have not...

Saluting Science's Silly Side, VirtuallyIn science, there are some traditions: Every October, the Nobel Prize committee announces the winners of that year's awards, which are presented in Sweden in December. And every September for the past 33 years, a different committee has awarded the Ig Nobel Prizes in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, Science Friday plays highlights from the awards ceremony. The Ig Nobel awards are a salute to achievements that, in the words of the organizers, “make people laugh, then think.” They are presented by the editors of the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research to 10 lucky(?) winners for unusual achievements in science, medicine, and other fields. This year's ceremony was held virtually, with a webcast taking the place of the traditional raucous ceremony in Harvard's Sanders Theater. However, it still contained many elements of the in-person Igs, from flying paper airplanes to the participation of real Nobel Laureates in the ceremony. This year's awards included prizes for explaining why many scientists like to lick rocks,  for re-animating dead spiders to use as mechanical gripping tools, and for using cadavers to explore whether there is an equal number of hairs in each of a person's two nostrils. SciFri producer Charles Bergquist joins Ira to discuss highlights from this year's ceremony.Stop Flushing Your Health Data Down The ToiletYou could be flushing important information about your health right down the toilet—quite literally. Pee and poop can tell you a lot about your health, so what if your waste…didn't go to waste? What if, instead, it could tell you more about your health? Like number one, it can catch a condition like diabetes early. Or number two, check out what's going on in your gut microbiome.That's the goal of the smart toilet—a device that gets all up in your business to tell you more about your health. Ira talks with the inventor of the PH Smart Toilet, Dr. Seung-min Park, instructor of urology at Stanford's School of Medicine in California, about how the toilet works, how it can be used to catch diseases early on, and the ethical implications of such a device.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

La 33ª edición anual de los Premios Ig Nobel ha otorgado sus premios a investigaciones raras e hilarantes. Los premios son elaborados por la revista Annals of Improbable Research.  Cada año, los premios presentan experimentos científicos que son tan divertidos como intrigantes, que arrojan luz sobre preguntas que jamás creerías que los científicos se interesarían en examinar. Incluso hay un lugar para un científico famoso y controvertido, casi cuarenta años después de su muerte. Es una parodia de los Nobel. Nunca hay categorías establecidas en estos premios, como sí ocurre con los Nobel tradicionales. Depende de las investigaciones que se presenten cada año y la edición de 2023 demuestran que todavía hay mucho espacio en la ciencia para lo extraño y lo divertido, incluso con los recortes presupuestarios en investigación de los últimos tiempos. Te cuento algunos de los premiados y sus investigaciones.

The 2020 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded on September 17 in the 30th Prize Ceremony that has become an institution of humour in science that "first make people laugh, then think". Is it best to be hit in the head with an empty or a full beer bottle? Can you make diamonds from liquid, especially from tequila? Can people swim faster in water, or in syrup? And why is it that you spill coffee when you walk with a cup? These are just a few examples of research efforts recorded in the Annals of Improbable Research. This podcast, recorded during the 7th Science Salon, takes you on a wonderfully fun and thoughtful journey into the world of science. Marc Abrahams, the man behind the Ig Nobel Prizes was joined by s Science Journalist, Line Friis Frederiksen, as the evening's host on November 13, 2019 in Copenhagen.

From Tiny Krill To Concrete Jungles: 2022's Best Science Books For Kids The holidays are right around the corner, which means for those who give gifts in December, now is the time to start putting together that shopping list. If you have a young person in your life who loves science, why not expand their library and get a book or two? Joining Ira to give their recommendation for the best children's science books of the year—both fiction and nonfiction—are Melissa Stewart, science book author based in Boston, Massachusetts, and Kristina Holzweiss, education technology specialist based on Long Island, New York. See the books at sciencefriday.com. Indigenous Knowledge Is Central To Climate Solutions As the United States observes Earth Day this year, many will be thinking about their personal relationship with—and responsibility to—the planet. But in an era of multiple planetary crises, including extinctions, global warming, and contaminated water, what about the Indigenous peoples whose millennia-old relationship with their land has been disrupted and sometimes severed by colonialism and other displacements?  Indigenous environmental scientist and author Jessica Hernandez talks to Ira about the harms the Western science has perpetuated against colonized people, as white environmentalists created national parks on Indigenous lands and “helicopter scientists” continue to do research in the global south while using the wealth of Western institutions. And she explains why greater recognition of Indigenous science, and partnerships that center Indigenous peoples and their research questions, is good for the entire planet.   Prizes For Science That Makes You Laugh, Then Think Prizes went to researchers for analyzing what makes legal documents unnecessarily difficult to understand. And for creating a moose crash-test dummy. And for explaining, mathematically, why success most often goes not to the most talented people, but instead to the luckiest. If that sounds like a strange set of awards—that's because it's the Ignobel Prize Ceremony. This year, for the 32nd year in a row, laureates gathered (virtually) to be recognized for their unusual contributions to the world of science and engineering. In the words of Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and awards ceremony ringleader, “It's not about good or bad. If you win an Ignobel Prize, it means you've done something that will immediately cause anyone who hears about it to laugh, and then to think about it for the next few days or weeks.” Abrahams joins Ira to talk about the backstory of the awards, and to introduce some highlights from this year's online prize ceremony.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Mindful dishwashing. The Hula Hoop Syndrome. Why Pedestrians Do Not Constantly Collide. Dat zijn serieuze wetenschappelijke onderzoeken waarvoor in het verleden IgNobel-prijzen zijn uitgereikt. ‘Improbable Research' wordt het ook wel genoemd. Doel van de jaarlijkse prijzen die vorige week weer zijn uitgereikt: “Honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”. Onderdeel van de traditie is dat het publiek bij de ceremonie gooit met zelfgevouwen vliegtuigjes, en dat de winnaar een geldbedrag ontvangt van 10 biljoen Zimbamwaanse dollar. Een van mijn favoriete winnaars ooit was het Japanse onderzoek dat uitwees waarom kleine eendjes in een rechte lijn achter hun moeder aan zwemmen: als ze hun borst in de hekgolf van mama eend duwen en hun kont omhoog gooien dan verbruiken ze 60% minder energie bij het zwemmen, en zo kunnen ze moeders bijhouden. Een van de winnaars dit jaar was een onderzoek naar juridische contracten. Waarom zijn die contracten zo farking moeilijk te lezen? Als echtgenoot van een jurist ben ik hierin extra geïnteresseerd, en als copywriter mompelde ik “I rest my case” toen ik las wat de reden is voor de beruchte advocatentaal. De reden dat je in je achterhoofd clavecimbelmuziek hoort en heren met gepoederde pruiken lijkt te horen oreren als je een juridische tekst leest is... Dat juristen niet kunnen schrijven. Onbekend jargon, tekst in all caps (hoofdletters), lange tangconstructies, lijdende vormen: mensen die rechten hebben gestudeerd zijn niet goed in het maken van begrijpelijke teksten voor normale mensen. Misschien is dat de reden dat ik onevenredig veel juristen onder mijn klanten heb, plus een paar andere groepen die niet bekend staan om hun kraakheldere woordkeus zoals accountants, zorgspecialisten en coaches. Enniewees, als jij ook het gevoel hebt dat je met meel in je mond praat of dat je klanten in coma lult op je website, dan nodig ik je uit voor een gratis online seminar dat ik morgen geef. Dat gaat over 7 copywriting-technieken waardoor websitebezoekers ja zeggen. Ik ga je daarin een heleboel tips geven voor een website die overtuigender is voor je klanten. Je ziet onder andere welke fout 80% van de websites maken, waardoor je klanten meteen afhaken. En welke les je vroeger van de juf hebt geleerd over schrijven, die je kapitalen kost als je hem nog steeds toepast als ondernemer. De link om je aan te melden voor mijn online seminar is https://www.schrijvenvoorinternet.nl/wbg-7-copywritingtechnieken-waardoor-klanten-ja-zeggen Het is morgenochtend van 10 tot 12 uur en je kijkt gewoon op je laptop. Kun je niet morgenochtend? Meld je dan toch aan, want ik stuur je de beste tips uit mijn seminar achteraf ook per post toe, zodat je ze kunt nalezen. Tot morgen, Aartjan van Erkel

I see you’ve returned to the plush but not overly ostentatious Norm Nathan Vault of Silliness. Thank you just so darn much for doing so. This episode hails from February 11th, 1995 and, because it’s Valentine’s Day Weekend I have titled it: Norman’s Assorted Radio Sampler. We begin with a Ken Neuman traffic report which is sponsored by Powder Mills Sports Center in Maynard Then a promo for the David Brudnoy Show voiced by Michael Coleman The show briefly picks up with an interview Norm is doing with Norman Donaldson, author of “How Did They Die?” There’s a call from Joan talking about Steve Leveille and that WHAM in Rochester, NY needs him. We hear Jack doing his best Bob Raleigh impression on a CitiBank Mortgage commercial. Gary Lapierre and his commentary on a recent snowstorm. Two Jack Harte sponsor reads. It’s on to a Norm Show Open and some callers. Fred – Norm bashing obnoxious Ovaltine commercials and that management and sales doesn’t listen so he’ll keep doing it. Feline ear mites? He inquires about natural plant pesticides and Norm brings on the recent guests, Dr. Robert Richard Smith & Mark Abrahams, authors of “The Annals of Improbable Research,” who give Fred some advice. Fred the reveals some of his own improbable research…Disclaimer: Don’t try this at home! Ruth Clennott informs Norm that Michelle Pfeiffer, Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year at the time, will be in town with her husband, David Kelly and visiting his parents in Belmont. Norm and Ruth hatch a plan for Norm to camp out in the lobby of the hotel they’re staying at or get a job at the hotel coffee shop. Maybe even disguise himself as the doorman. Ruth moves on to the Miss USA pageant and a biting critique of the judges ensues which then leads to Norm considering doing a program about “People You Don’t Understand How They Got Where They Are.” I wander into the studio and join the fun. By the end of the call the radio waves are getting steamy between Norm and Ruth. I get to tease the upcoming guests: Husband and Wife Authors of the book “2002 Ways to say I Love You” Coolidge Corner Theater – will be having their 24hr Science Fiction Marathon Marcia McCreadie – “Women Who Write the Movies” For your dining and dancing pleasure we hear another Show Open and more calls. Joan – And Norm talks about shopping with Frank Avruch for suits! Penny who Norm tempts to run away with him to teach him the tango. Edna, who’s running around with all sorts of men. Now, ladies and gentlemen…Side B Norm ends a call and then we hear from Virginia. We take a short break as Jack does a sponsor read for Riopan Norm teases the weekend’s guests again but with more details! Did you say more calls please? Well, we aims to please here. Stacy suffering from Norm and Norma confusion. Les on a car phone talking about Norm doing a voice over for him in the 70’s for a dramatic Fire Safety video. Another Stacy that mentions some nuttiness between Jack and I that had him laughing hard. Our friend, Helene from Belmont with talk about old time radio. Ted and Norm talk WHDH, The Cloud Club and Norm graces us with the history of Sounds in the Night. Norm sings before talking with Mike in Cambridge Let’s pause and bow our heads to Baby Gold Bond with Ann George from Philadelphia, PA We are entertained by Accuwx w/Alex Sosnowski which leads to Norm scatting over the show open.

När Padesar Yadavs dotter och svärson oväntat dog, fick Padesar vårdnaden om sina barnbarn. Och för att ha råd med deras utbildning var han tvungen att sälja lite mark i byn han vuxit upp i. Mark som han ärvt från sin far. Han sålde marken - trodde han. Men efter ett tag hörde köparen av sig och sa att köpet inte var giltigt. Padesar ägde inte marken han sålt. Padesar reste direkt till den by där han var uppväxt för att reda ut missförståndet med marken. När han kom in i byn blev alla chockade när de såg Padesar. ‘Men du är ju död!', sa de till honom. Padesar var förvisso inte ung, han hade passerat 70. Men död var han inte. Men snart upptäckte han att han faktiskt var det. Död. På papperet, i alla fall.

A More Delicious COVID Screener One of the most bizarre symptoms of COVID-19—a nearly surefire way to know if you have been infected—is a loss of taste or smell. Estimates of how many people are impacted range wildly, with the highest estimates reaching 75 to 80% of COVID-19 survivors. There's still a lot scientists don't understand about why this happens and what part of the olfactory system or brain is actually responsible for this change. Researchers at Ohio State University are trying to figure out more about how COVID-19 impacts taste and smell using a familiar and tasty item: hard candy. Study participants eat an uncolored piece of candy each day and describe the flavor. If a participant is suddenly unable to identify which fruit the candy is emulating … well, it's time to take a COVID test. Joining Ira to talk about this delicious research and learning more about how COVID-19 impacts our senses is Chris Simons, sensory scientist at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.     Laugh And Learn With The Ig Nobel Prizes This year, even though many people may be still hesitant to gather together for the holidays, a Science Friday holiday tradition lives on—our annual post-Thanksgiving broadcast of highlights from the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, now in its 31st first annual year.  Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and master of ceremonies for the prizes, joins Ira to present some of the highlights from this year's awards—from research into the microbiology trapped in the gum on the sidewalk to a transportation prize for scientists who discovered the best way to safely transport a rhinoceros long distances. (Dangle it upside down under a helicopter.) Tune in to hear about research involving the kinetics of crowds, the communications of cats, thoughts about the evolutionary history of human beards, and more.

We celebrate the greatest scientific awards night, the 31st Ig Nobel Prizes. In this multi part special we find out about the history of the Ig Nobel prizes and some of the more well known examples from storied history. Who came home with the top prize this year in the Ig Nobel's? What's the best way to airlift a rhino? Are there NSFW ways to de-congest your nose? What can a discarded piece of chewing gum tell you about your mouth or environment? A discarded piece of gum can be a mess but also a messy battleground for bacteria. Since bacteria love invading old gum, can that be harnessed for good? Full information about the Ig Nobel Prizes can be found at their website, curated by the journal, the Annals of Improbable Research.  References: “Obesity of Politicians and Corruption in Post‐Soviet Countries,” Pavlo Blavatskyy, Economic of Transition and Institutional Change, vol. 29, no. 2, 2021, pp. 343-356.

As one famous sci-fi author once said, the phrase that heralds most discoveries is not “Eureka!” but “that's funny”... Marс Abrahams, the founder of the Ig Nobel Prize and the editor of Annals of Improbable Research magazine, knows all about the humor of science.

Podcast: Science Friday (LS 70 · TOP 0.05% what is this?)Episode: Ig Nobel Prizes, Koji Alchemy. Nov 27, 2020, Part 2Pub date: 2020-11-27Laugh Along At Home With The Ig Nobel Awards We know traditions are different this year. Maybe you're having a small family dinner instead of a huge gathering. Maybe you're just hopping on a video call instead of going over the river and through the woods. At Science Friday, our holiday tradition of broadcasting highlights from the annual Ig Nobel Awards ceremony is different this year too. Rather than being recorded live in front of a cheering crowd at Harvard's Sanders Theater, the ceremony was virtual this year. But one thing remains the same—awards went to a bunch of genuine scientists for research that first makes you laugh, then makes you think. This year marks the ceremony's 30th anniversary.  Marc Abrahams, editor of the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research and master of ceremonies for the awards, joins Ira to talk about Ig Nobel history, and to share highlights from this year's winners. Koji: The Mold You Want In Your Kitchen When chef Jeremy Umansky grows a batch of Aspergillus oryzae, a cultured mold also known as koji, in a tray of rice, he says he's “bewitched” by its fluffy white texture and tantalizing floral smells. When professional mechanical engineer and koji hobbyist Rich Shih thinks about the versatility of koji, from traditional Japanese sake to cured meats, he says, “It blows my mind.” Koji-inoculated starches are crucial in centuries-old Asian foods like soy sauce and miso—and, now, inspiring new and creative twists from modern culinary minds. And Shih and Umansky, the two food fanatics, have written a new book describing the near-magical workings of the fungus, which, like other molds, uses enzymes to break starches, fats, and proteins down into food for itself. It just so happens that, in the process, it's making our food tastier.  You can grow koji on grains, vegetables, and other starchy foods, and make sauces, pastes, alcohols, and vinegars. Even cure meats. Umansky and Shih say the possibilities are endless—and they have the koji pastrami and umami popcorn to prove it. Plus, Urmansky and Shih share some of their favorite koji-inspired holiday dishes and leftover recipes—from turkey amino spreads to cranberry sauce amazake to soy sauce-infused whipped cream.

Atualmente, a população mundial é de 7,7 bilhões de pessoas. Acha muito? Todas as projeções indicam que o número vai aumentar ao longo deste século. Neste episódio, comparamos duas previsões recentes, uma da Organização das Nações Unidas e outra de um instituto norte-americano que saiu na revista científica The Lancet. E perguntamos a um demógrafo como essas projeções são feitas. Também entrevistamos o biólogo Marco Antônio Corrêa Varella, pesquisador do Instituto de Psicologia da USP e premiado neste ano com a sátira mais famosa da ciência. Marco Varella foi um dos ganhadores do Prêmio IgNobel de Economia por uma pesquisa que correlaciona a frequência de beijos dos casais com o nível de desigualdade social dos países onde vivem. Em sua 30ª edição, o IgNobel é um prêmio criado pela revista de humor científico Annals of Improbable Research, e tem como lema “fazer rir e depois pensar”. A lista completa de ganhadores está no site da revista. Apresentação: Silvana Salles Produção: Gabriel Guerra e Giovanna Stael Edição de som: Guilherme Fiorentini e Beatriz Juska

Puntata palindroma di Scientificast, la 323. Oggi parliamo di meduse anche se il bagno lo farete di nuovo l’anno prossimo (ahah!). Parleremo anche di didattica e poetica della matematica con un ospite e daremo un’occhiata ai premi IgNobel 2020.Partiamo prendendo spunto da una richiesta che ci è arrivata dalla nostra community. Esistono repellenti per meduse? Se sì, sono efficaci? Giuliano ha indagato a fondo la questione e presenta un paio di soluzioni che non sono esattamente “repellenti”, tuttavia limitano di molto la pericolosità di questi animali.Per approfondire:•Le mute per difendersi dalle meduse: https://stingersuits.com/buy-stinger-suits/•Repellente per meduse: https://www.respingojellyfish.it•Il brevetto relativo all'uso del Lantanio cloruro https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2003096993A1/en•La Vespa di origine asiatica che preda le api: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_velutina Giuliana intervista Riccardo Giannitrapani (http://orporick.github.io/), docente di Matematica e Fisica presso il Liceo Scientifico “G.Marinelli” di Udine per affrontare il tema dell’insegnamento della matematica e di come anche la matematica possa essere poetica.Per approfondire consigliamo il libro “Un labirinto incerto.

The 2020 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded on September 17 in the 30th Prize Ceremony that has become an institution of humour in science, that "first make people laugh, then think". Is it best to be hit in the head with an empty or a full beer bottle? Can you make diamonds from liquid - especially from tequila? Can people swim faster in water or in syrup? And why is it that you spill coffee when you walk with a cup? These are just a few examples of research efforts recorded in the Annals of Improbable Research. This podcast, recorded during the 7th Science Salon, takes you on a wonderfully fun and thoughtful journey into the world of science. Marc Abrahams, the man behind the Ig Nobel Prizes was joined by science journalist, Line Friis Frederiksen, as the evening's host on November 13, 2019 in Copenhagen.

Our Professor of Irrelevant Studies wants you to think deeply about what is and isn't relevant. Perhaps nothing is irrelevant and that makes everything - whatever it is you're interested in or are doing - truly relevant. It sounds like the most irrelevant course of study available and perhaps it is, but why should that even matter? It's time to think differently about relevance.

We all know that some people find clowns creepy – and funeral directors as well as taxidermists too. But why. What is ‘creepiness’ and can it be studied? And when we encounter robots that are almost human, but not quite, why do we feel as if we’re in what’s called ‘the uncanny valley’? Our Professor of Creepy Studies (who happens to be a robot) explains. And we interview Marc Abrahams from ImprobableResearch.com (who’s also the organizer of the globally renowned Ig-Nobel Awards) to find out if even being interested in the nature of creepiness is itself… creepy.

It's Ignobel Prize 2018 time. As part of Improbable Research's celebration of curious and comedic science, we find out the rollercoasters, and how they are just what the doctor ordered. The Ignobel Prize 2018 in Medicine went to Mitchel and Wartinger for their ground breaking work into how to use rollercoasters to treat Kidney stones. We look into how rollercoasters work, their impact on the body, and how it can help pass kidney stones. Plus we look at some research into how rollercoaster g-force can impact your brain.    References: Marc A. Mitchell, David D.

In 1944, fully a year before the first successful nuclear test, Astounding Science Fiction magazine published a remarkably detailed description of an atomic bomb. The story, by the otherwise undistinguished author Cleve Cartmill, sent military intelligence racing to discover the source of his information -- and his motives for publishing it. In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the investigation that ensued, which involved legendary editor John W. Campbell and illuminated the imaginative power of science fiction and the role of censorship in times of war. We'll also hear Mark Twain's advice against being too clever and puzzle over the failure of a seemingly perfect art theft. Sources for our segment on Cleve Cartmill: Cleve Cartmill and Jean Marie Stine, Deadline & Other Controversial SF Classics, 2011. Albert I. Berger, "The Astounding Investigation: The Manhattan Project's Confrontation With Science Fiction," Analog, September 1984. Robert Silverberg, "Reflections: The Cleve Cartmill Affair" (in two parts), Asimov's Science Fiction, September and October–November 2003. Mark Twain appended the poem "Be Good, Be Good" to a letter to Margaret Blackmer on Nov. 14, 1907: Be good, be good, be always good, And now & then be clever, But don’t you ever be too good, Nor ever be too clever; For such as be too awful good They awful lonely are, And such as often clever be Get cut & stung & trodden on by persons of lesser mental capacity, for this kind do by a law of their construction regard exhibitions of superior intellectuality as an offensive impertinence leveled at their lack of this high gift, & are prompt to resent such-like exhibitions in the manner above indicated — & are they justifiable? alas, alas they (It is not best to go on; I think the line is already longer than it ought to be for real true poetry.) Listener mail: The observation that a letter might be addressed to Glenn Seaborg by listing five chemical elements was made by Jeffrey Winters in "The Year in Science: Chemistry 1997," Discover, January 1998. I don't know whether any such letter was ever delivered successfully. Jeff Van Bueren's article "Postal Experiments" appeared in the Annals of Improbable Research, July/August 2000.

He facilitates workshops on storytelling, music, and anti-oppression organizing at public schools, community organizations, and universities.

Marc Abrahams, editor of The Annals of Improbable Research and one of the organizers of the annual Ig-Nobel Prize ceremonies at Harvard University, discusses the work of scientists and academics that, "first makes you laugh, and then makes you think". Highlights of the lecture include discussions of a study that proves that Kansas is flatter than a pancake and a paper investigating The Forces Required to Drag Sheep Over Various Surfaces.

Wearing socks on the outside of your shoes makes you less likely to slip on icy paths. Promoting people at random makes companies more efficient.
