Ig Nobel Prizes

This year's Nobel Prizes were awarded for work on Buckyballs and superfluidity, among other things, and we applaud that. But there's another award out there, the Ig Nobel, that honors a different type of work, studies like how water affects breakfast cereal. On this hour of Science Friday, we'll broadcast the Sixth Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony, which includes lots of silliness, and a biodiversity operetta.
