2016 Ig Nobel Prizes 世界各地怪研究


2016年 Ig Nobel Prizes 九月份得獎名單出來囉。這個獎跟諾貝爾不一樣,獎勵的是「會讓人笑,再讓人思考」的研究。

今年得獎的包含:

為老鼠穿褲,測量他們的性趣。
親身體驗如何當一隻鹿
石頭的個性

我覺得最有趣的是文章中提到的最後一個獎項,這個獎項很少報紙人報,都是報上面的老鼠穿褲等等。

"The most surprising winner was for chemistry: the automaker Volkswagen, caught for violating US emissions law, was granted a nearly worthless Zimbabwean bill to help pay for its massive legal costs. The Ig Nobel committee said the award was “for solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electro-mechanically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested."

酸VW,說他們終於研究出如何降低車輛汙染的方法了~~~用很學術的用字,諷刺他們做假研究。
