Winners of satirical science award

A parody of the Nobel Prizes, the Ig Nobel Prizes are awarded each year in mid-September, around the time the recipients of the genuine Nobel Prizes are announced, for ten achievements that "first make people laugh, and then make them think". Commenting on the 2006 awards, Marc Abrahams, editor of Annals of Improbable Research and co-sponsor of the awards, said that "[t]he prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative, and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology".[1] All prizes are awarded for real achievements, except for three in 1991 and one in 1994, due to an erroneous press release.

The awards were presented on 3 October. Each winner received a medal shaped like a frying pan that made a screaming noise when shaken and Cambridge parking passes that were valid from 3 a.m. – 4 a.m. the day after Christmas.[2]

Apocryphal achievements

People who received multiple Ig Nobel Prizes

[edit]

Ig Nobel Prize winners who also received the Nobel Prize

[edit]

  1. All companies except for Arthur Andersen were forced to restate their financial reports due to false or incorrect accounting. Arthur Andersen was the accounting firm most identified with the scandals, having been indicted on criminal charges stemming from its actions as auditor of Enron.[citation needed] See Enron scandal and Accounting scandals for more details.
  2. 86 of John Trinkaus' publications are listed in a special issue of Annals of Improbable Research.[98]
  3. It has been suggested that the study of this phenomenon has had major political consequences. Following the sensational stranding of a Soviet submarine deep inside Swedish waters on 27 October 1981, the Swedish navy initiated a large-scale campaign to guard Swedish territorial waters from the perceived threat of infiltration by foreign submarines, despite the Soviets consistently asserting that the stranding had occurred due to navigational errors. The "submarine hunts", which lasted throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, have been a heavily debated issue in Sweden, as to whether or not there ever was any factual substance to the claims of Soviet infiltration. One widely reported piece of "evidence" were several sound recordings of what the Swedish navy suspected to be foreign submarines. Oceanographers and marine biologists were invited to study the recordings and would eventually find that the sounds heard were most probably produced not by submarines, but in fact were the noises made when herring passed gas. In a reportage by the Swedish science magazine "Vetenskapens värld" ("World of science") televised on 16 April 2012, it's suggested that these findings were important in putting an end to the costly "submarine hunts" which had continued for more than a decade, with Ig Nobel laureate Håkan Westerberg guessing that this would have saved Swedish tax payers hundreds of millions in SEK.[104]
  4. Toscanini's, a well-known ice cream parlour based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, introduced a new ice cream flavour at the Ig Nobel Ceremony in honour of Mayu Yamamoto's work, called "Yum-a-Moto Vanilla Twist".[151]
  5. 1 2 Zoltan Egeresi, a Californian inventor, filed a similar patent for a net-trapping device in 2003, taking inspiration from Kuo Cheng Hsieh's 2001 anti-bank-robbing device (winner of the 2007 Ig Nobel Economics Prize) and simplifying Gustano Pizzo's anti-hijacking device from early 1970s (winner of the 2013 Ig Nobel Safety Engineering Prize).[153]
  6. The ceremony was attended by Karolina Lewestam, a Polish citizen and holder of a Polish driver's license, who "expressed her good wishes to the Irish police service" on behalf of all Polish licensed drivers.[179]
  7. Harold Camping later admitted his predictions were wrong and that he regrets his misdeeds.[205]
  8. Note, the vehicle used was not a tank, but a BTR-60 Armoured personnel carrier.[citation needed]
  9. The short video acceptance speech for the award was filmed in a cave.
  10. Jiwon Han was a high school student at Korean Minjok Leadership Academy when he wrote the paper.
  11. The award ceremony was attended by Shiguru Watanabe and his adult sons, who were some of the subjects of the study when they were children 35 years prior.
  12. This prize builds on research by Horváth et al. (2010), the authors of whom were awarded the 2016 Ig Nobel Physics Prize.

Interestingly, the facility was partly inspired by previous research conducted by Russian physicist Andrew Geim in which he floated a frog with a magnet. The experiment earned Geim the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics, a satirical award given to unusual scientific research. It's cool that a quirky experiment involving floating a frog could lead to something approaching an honest-to-God antigravity chamber.

Tuttavia una delle riserve trasversali ha una rilevanza maggiore e riguarda l'inserimento nei conti delle attività illegali, in ottemperanza al principio di esaustività, già introdotto dal Sec 95: le stime devono dunque comprendere tutte le attività che producono reddito, indipendentemente dal loro status giuridico. Le attività illegali di cui tutti i paesi devono inserire una stima nei conti (e quindi nel Pil) sono: traffico di sostanze stupefacenti, servizi della prostituzione e contrabbando (di sigarette o alcol). La metodologia di stima della dimensione economica di tali attività è coerente con le linee guida stabilite da Eurostat.
