It's that time of year again, and Sci is current en route to the Ignobel Prizes, held every year at Harvard. It's the best, and funniest, scientific award, for the great science that first makes you laugh...but then makes you THINK. I will be live tweeting the ceremony starting at 6:00EDT, AND there will be a live feed of the ceremony right here at this blog! And after the ceremony is over, start checking the blog for updates, there will be a blog post on every single bit of weird science! And all the science at the IgNobels counts as weird science. Keep an eye on the twitter and an eye on the blog, and get ready for the Ignobels!!
