In 2000, Geim co-authored a paper "Of flying frogs and levitrons", winning an "Ig Nobel Prize". In 2010 he won the "real" Nobel Prize in physics for his "experiments with graphene, a strong, ultra-thin conductor of electricity and heat that could revolutionize all kinds of technology ..."
"Geim exhorted [the audience] ... to not take themselves too seriously."
