Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
'Universal urination
duration' wins Ig Nobel prize
What’s the Ig Nobel Prizes?
It is a parody of
the Nobel Prizes, yet very scientific, that honors ten unusual or trivial achievements
in scientific research every year. The studies for the awards are expected to
first make people laugh, and then make them think. The award ceremony is held
at Harvard University and followed by public lectures by the winners at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sounds very authentic, doesn’t it?
There are 10 award
categories, including Physics that discovered biological principle that nearly
all mammals empty their bladders in about 21 seconds. Other winners are from
all over the world, such as Japan, Chili and Thailand.
Enjoy reading, laughing and
thinking these 10 award winning discoveries of the year.
