A paper am a coauthor of uses an Ig Nobel winning article as a reference. Because in fact it was a serious piece of research with practical implications.
- conception 11d agoThey all are serious research.
- varjag 11d agoSure but it’s certainly not the messaging of IgNobel

Now it's to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think". Over the years they went from being a prize for joke science to a prize for serious science that is funny.
