Open to all registrants The Ig Nobel Prizes honor research that makes people laugh, then think. This session features Marc Abrahams, organizer of the prizes and editor of the journal Improbable Research; 2011 Ig Nobel public safety prize winner John Senders (who will do two five-minute talks — one about his driving-on-a-highway-while-blinded experiment, the other about an unpublished gunslinger experiment he did in 1956); performing economist Yoram Bauman; and others to be announced.
