Even more full-circle 2005 Nobel strangeness: 2005 Physics Nobel laureate Roy Glauber is a longtime star of the IgNobel Prize ceremonies.
Frank and I will be watching via this year’s Ig Nobel webcast (October 6) from a mountaintop in Bavaria (with good wifi.) And yet, despite our distance in physical space, Frank will have his own connection to the IgNobels this year for the very first time. Not a talking head, not a walk-on part, but (as the seasick Frenchman replied when the steward asked if he had dined) “Au contraire.”
All fans of funny ha-ha and funny peculiar should watch the IgNobels!
