Ig Nobel Awards Roadshow 2008 at Imperial College London

The Ig Nobel Prizes honour achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honour the imaginative, and spur people's interest in science, medicine and technology. The Awards Tour Show 2008, hosted by the Graduate Schools, returned to Imperial College London for the third successive year, as part of National Science and Engineering Week celebrations. The event was co sponsored by The British Association for the Advancement of Science and by The Guardian newspaper.
