搞笑诺贝尔奖授予研究蟑螂奶、擤鼻涕、埋置内衣等课题的科学家

周四,十支研究团队在一场讽刺性科学颁奖礼上获奖。受旅行限制影响,该典礼首次在美国境外举办。

研究蟑螂产奶的科研人员,以及用内衣分析土壤健康状况的研究者,均获得了搞笑诺贝尔奖,以表彰他们在科学领域做出的另类且富有想象力的贡献。

该奖项由《不可能研究年鉴》数字杂志主办,此前35年均在美国举办,今年因担忧参会者无法顺利获得签证,移师欧洲。

在瑞士苏黎世的一个会展中心,研究团队领取了形似蘑菇与人类足部结合体的定制奖杯。其中包括牛津大学的玛蒂尔达·布林德尔和斯图尔特·韦斯特,以及佛罗里达理工学院的凯瑟琳·F·塔尔博特,他们重建了亲吻行为的进化史;还有已故的德丸俊次博士,他研究了擤鼻涕的科学原理。

另有一支研究团队在25个以上的国家埋置了1000条内衣,以此研究土壤中的生物如何帮助衣物分解。

对于未来的颁奖礼,主办方计划在苏黎世和其他欧洲国家轮流举办。2027年的典礼将在比利时安特卫普市举行。此前的颁奖礼曾在哈佛大学、麻省理工学院和波士顿大学举办,但目前暂无立即返回美国举办的计划。

“过去一年里,我们的嘉宾前往美国已变得不安全。”该典礼主持人、杂志编辑马克·亚伯拉罕斯今年3月在发给美联社的一封邮件中说道。

与这个以戏谑方式命名的奖项毫无关联的诺贝尔奖,将于10月初公布获奖名单。

Ig Nobel prizes go to scientists studying cockroach milk, nose-blowing, buried underwear, more

Ten research teams were honored Thursday at a satirical science awards ceremony that was hosted outside the U.S. for the first time due to travel concerns.

Researchers who studied milk from cockroaches and analyzed soil health using underwear received Ig Nobel prizes celebrating unusual and imaginative contributions to science.

The awards, organized by a digital magazine called the Annals of Improbable Research, shifted to Europe after 35 years in the United States over concerns about attendees being able to get visas.

At a convention center in Zurich, Switzerland, research teams received a custom trophy resembling a cross between a mushroom and a human foot. Among them were Matilda Brindle and Stuart West from the University of Oxford and the Florida Institute of Technology’s Catherine F. Talbot, who reconstructed the evolutionary history of kissing, and the late Dr. Tokuji Unno, who investigated the science of blowing one’s nose.

Another research team buried 1,000 pairs of underwear in more than 25 countries to study how critters in the soil helped them decompose.

For future ceremonies, organizers plan to alternate between Zurich and other European countries. The 2027 ceremony will be held in the Belgian city of Antwerp. Previous iterations took place at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston University, but there are no immediate plans to return to the U.S.

“During the past year, it has become unsafe for our guests to visit the country,” Marc Abrahams, master of ceremonies and editor of the magazine, told The Associated Press in an email in March.

The Nobel Prizes, which have no relation to their cheekily named counterpart, will be announced at the start of October.
