- Ig Nobel Science Award Tour Show
On 9 December, PSL will host the only French stop on the Ig Nobel Prize winners' tour.
For one evening, discover the ‘improbable’ science that first makes you laugh and then makes you think, as the motto of this highly prestigious award says. The evening (in English!) will be hosted by Marc Abrahams himself, founder of these awards.
Full programme:
Roman Hossein Khonsari & Marjolaine Willems (Ig Nobel Anatomy Prize, 2024):
human hair swirl direction in the northern and southern hemisphere
Introduction by Eric Clement & Jean-Francois Joanny (5 min)
Daniel Bonn & Antoine Deblais (Ig Nobel Chemistry Prize, 2024):
