2. The 2011 Ig Informal Lectures at MIT
----------------------------------------------
DAY: Saturday
DATE: October 1, 2011
TIME: 1:00 pm
ROOM: MIT 26-100, 60 Vassar St., Cambridge
MAP:
http://whereis.mit.edu/?mapterms=26-100A half-afternoon of improbably funny, informative, and high-spirited public lectures, in which the new Ig Nobel Prize winners will attempt to explain what they did, and why they did it.
The Ig Nobel Prizes honor people whose achievements have made people LAUGH, and then made them THINK. Ten prizes are given to people who have done remarkable things -- some of them admirable, some perhaps otherwise. The Igs are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative - and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.
FREE ADMISSION! No tickets required.
This free event is organized in cooperation with the MIT Press Bookstore.
All Ig Nobel Prize activities are organized by the Annals of Improbable Research.
