The IgNobel Awards are this Thursday at Harvard. Based on Steve Crandall's recommendation, I impulse-purchased a ticket today. If anyone else local is going, it would be fun to meet up for a drink before or after.
IgNobel: The new inquisition of ultra ortodox scientists
IgNobel represents a new campaign to discredit unusual scientific achievements, which perhaps in the future will be useful for the advance of science.
This new scientific inquisition, a parody of the Nobel Prizes, is very dangerous. In fact, it is used, in some cases anti-ethically, to attack and to ridiculize honest and prestigious scientists who curiously have published their scientific articles in peer-review scientific journals!!!
My question is: Should the IgNobel group receive an IgNobel prize?
