36th Annual Ig Nobel Prizes Watch Party

Join us in the auditorium to watch the livestream of the event. Ten new winners will be announced, each having done something that makes you laugh, then makes you think.

The Ig Nobel Prize is a lighthearted prize that has been awarded annually since 1991 to promote public engagement with scientific research, aiming to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think". Most awards are given to genuine scientific researchers who's work has an unorthodox or humorous slant, while others are given ironically to various politicians, media figures, or promoters of pseudoscience. The show involves running jokes, silly traditions, and a unique winners speech format that makes this ceremony a genuine delight to watch.
