as a lifetime and supporting member of #HRSFA (#Harvard Radcliffe #ScienceFiction Association), I was a part of their delegation to the #IgNobels for many years (basically all of the ones in the 90s and a few years beyond) and also actually paid to go a few times in the early 00s. Makes me really sad that a step like this is necessary, but I fully understand. I hope they will still be able to keep the livestream in future (I imagine @MarcAbrahams is on it .)

Quirky science award ceremony moves to Europe over visa concerns

Organizers of an annual satirical award for scientific achievement are shifting for the first time from the United States to Europe due to concerns about winners and others being able to get visas. The Ig Nobels are organized by the Annals of Improbable Research, a digital magazine that highlights research that makes people laugh and think. The 36th annual ceremony will be held in Zurich. It’s usually held weeks before the actual Nobel Prizes are announced. The move announced Monday comes amid President Donald Trump’s sweeping crackdown on immigration.

Baby steps in the continuing isolation of the USA. And that is before ICE are considered.

Re last boost & the #IgNobels moving out of the US for safety reasons.

Well done, that was, and IS, the right call to make.

#IgNobels ceremony moves to #Europe over security concerns
After 35 years in Boston, #USA, the annual prize ceremony will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, this year and will continue to be held in a European city for the foreseeable future. The reason: concerns about the safety of international travelers, who are increasingly reluctant to travel to the #US to participate.

Apparently the Ig Nobels are leaving the US for obvious reasons. But there's always the FIFA Ig Nobels, so.
