SUMMARY:The 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Presenters include Frances Arnold and Barry Sharpless\nSponsored by Improbable Research\n3pm-4pm\, Online on YouTube\, Free\, Learn more (no registration required)\n\nThe 2021 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony & Webcast \n“The 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will happen on Thursday\, September 9\, 2021\, beginning at 3 pm (Pacific Time). Because of the Covid-19 pandemic\, the ceremony will again be entirely online. There will be a special livestream in Japanese (on the Nico Nico network). There might also be a special livestream in Spanish (that’s not definite yet\, but we are hopeful.) \nTen new Ig Nobel Prize winners will be introduced. Each has done something that makes people LAUGH\, then THINK. \nThe prizes will be handed out by this gaggle of Nobel laureates: \n\nRich Roberts (physiology or medicine\, 1993)\nFrances Arnold (chemistry\, 2018)\nMarty Chalfie (chemistry\, 2008)\nEric Maskin (economics\, 2007)\nBarry Sharpless (chemistry\, 2001)\nRobert Lefkowitz (chemistry\, 2012)\nCarl Weiman (physics\, 2001)\nEric Cornell (physics\, 2001)\nJerome Friedman (physics\, 1990)\n\nThe theme of this year’s ceremony is ENGINEERING. A new mini-opera\, called “A Bridge Between People”\, amplifies that theme. \nThe ceremony will also include the 24/7 Lectures\, in which the lecturers explain their topic first in 24 SECONDS\, then in seven WORDS. \nThis year’s lecturers and their topics: \n\n Gwinyai Masukume: Drinking Coffee\n Françoise Brochard: Soft Matter\n Chaouki Abdallah: Feedback Control\n Patricia Yang: Excretion Dynamics\nIman Farahbakhsh: Baby-Washing Technology”\n\nFor details\, see the ceremony web page: https://www.improbable.com/ig/2021-ceremony/
