Sanders Theater, Harvard University
The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology. Every year, in a gala ceremony in Harvard's Sanders Theatre, 1200 splendidly eccentric spectators watch the winners step forward to accept their Prizes. These are physically handed out by genuinely bemused genuine Nobel laureates.
The 23rd First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony happened on Thursday, September 12, 2013, introducing the 2013 Ig Nobel Prize winners. Each has done something that makes people laugh then think. The winners traveled to the ceremony, at their own expense, from several continents. The Prizes were handed to them by a group of genuine, genuinely bemused Nobel Laureates. The ceremony that included many other delights, was webcast on www.improbable.com and about 20 major news and science sites.
