The Ig Noble Awards show comes to Dundee next month. Perhaps an opportunity to exercise your new critical thinking skills:
Ig Nobel Awards show - 6pm, Saturday 13th March 2010 Dalhousie building, University of Dundee, Old Hawkhill, DD1 4HD A free public event and everyone is welcome. The Ig Nobel Awards Show honours achievements that will make you laugh and then make you think. Marc Abrahams, organiser of the Ig Nobel Prizes and Guardian columnist, will review the past year's improbable research and a gaggle of Ig Nobel Prize winners will try to explain what they did and why they did it, and most importantly answer your questions. This event will entertain you with the latest discoveries and will make research fun and accessible to all! This is the first time that the Ig Nobel show has visited Dundee and is a hugely popular night out wherever it travels. Our speakers will explain;
- how your underwear could save you from certain death,
- why you should always keep a look out for flirtatious ostriches,
- how to avoid problems when using the word 'The',
- what is the best way to avoid sword-swallowing injuries from the author of the penetrating medical report “Sword Swallowing and Its Side Effects.”.
