Here’s a summary of the article:
At a recent satirical science awards ceremony held in Zurich, Switzerland, ten research teams were honored with Ig Nobel prizes for their quirky contributions to science. This marked the first time the awards were hosted outside the U.S. due to travel concerns. Among the winners were researchers who studied cockroach milk and analyzed soil health using buried underwear.
The ceremony, which shifted from the U.S. after 35 years, was organized by the Annals of Improbable Research. Attendees marked the occasion by throwing paper airplanes. Future ceremonies will alternate locations, with the next event scheduled for Antwerp, Belgium. Organizer Marc Abrahams mentioned safety concerns for guests traveling to the U.S. as the reason for the shift.
Additionally, the article notes that the Nobel Prizes will be announced at the beginning of October.
