La science des études à la con : un domaine de recherche très sérieux - Les mots ont un sens

La taille du pénis des citoyens corrélée au PIB de leur pays ↗ ? La science progresse, parfois… à coups d’études totalement débiles. Depuis quelque temps, des chercheurs se sont même mis à étudier ces études absurdes de leurs collègues.

Am Donnerstagabend (23.4. 18-20 Uhr) ist die Ig Nobel-Tour in der Schweiz (#Lausanne).

Leider ist meine Begleitung kurzfristig verhindert. Ich gehe aber davon aus, dass unter meinen Followern genügend Nerds (m/w/d) sind, die sowas geniessen würden.

Hat jemand Zeit und Lust? Sonst gebe ich das Ticket zurück. (Gratisticket)

Mit @MarcAbrahams und Award-Winning Forschung zu Herzsynchronisation, gelobten Narzissten und der Mikrosymmetrie von Skulpturen.

Und Fun!

Yesterday, after a wonderful, hilarious and thought provoking #ignobel show at the #uniessen with experiments from @minkorrekt (by @nicolas_woehrl and Reinhard Remfort), we heard from @MarcAbrahams that the Ig-Nobel prize ceremony will be held in Europe because of the political situation in the USA.

Makes you think.... Another reason to #unplugtrump .

@MarcAbrahams

So all that's needed is a UV light emitting at the 270-280 nm wavelength? Inside out shoes for 2-3 minutes tops? Sounds like the sort of gadget that can cost very little when manufactured at scale, and rechargeable. Brilliant – exactly.

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."
