Ich hätte mein Ticket für die Ig Nobel Euro Show am Freitag, den 17.04. in Essen abzugeben (kost nix).
@nicolas_woehrl und Reini von Methodisch Inkorrekt zeigen dort auch Experimente. Wird bestimmt super.

La cérémonie des prix Ig Nobel déménage à Zürich!
Je suis surexcitée, même si la raison qui motive ce changement est tragique.

Sadly too true: USA has arrested/deported foreign scientists and others recently.

"During the past year, it has become unsafe for our guests to visit the country. We cannot in good conscience ask the new winners, or the international journalists who cover the event, to travel to the USA this year."

En même temps ça devenait difficile de continuer à faire de la science *et* de la satire, dans un pays devenu lui-même une caricature du rejet de la science (et de la satire).

After 35 years, #IgNobel ceremony to leave the U.S. | #Science | AAAS

The 35th Ig Nobel Prize #ceremony held in Boston in September 2025 will be the last in the United States—at least for now. This year, the beloved spoof on science Nobel Prizes will take place in #Zürich, kicking off a potentially permanent change to European-hosted ceremonies.

Wow. Even the #IgNobel prize is fleeing the US right now.

Should be an IgNobel Prize winner. :-)

"In a test of the device, healthy college-age volunteers who wore sensors farted an average of 32 times a day. But that figure varied from a minimum of four flatus daily to a maximum of 59. Eating high fiber gumdrops caused 36 of 38 participants to break wind more often, the researchers found."
