Getting Iggy with it
And it is on, people. If you haven't gotten tickets yet to tonight's Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, there may still be some available at 617-496-2222.
If there aren't, or if you can't or don't want to attend the live performance, you can watch it online at www.improbable.com, starting tonight at 7:30 EST. Might be an entertaining warmup to the VP debates!
I'll post the winners on Friday morning and will also discuss them on the Peter Blute show on 830 AM at 9:35 am.
The Ig Informal Lectures will be this Saturday at 1:00 pm at MIT, Building 10, Room 250 (77 Mass Ave.). This event is free and extremely fun--the winners, and some returning winners as well, explain what they did and to some extent why. You can ask them questions!--and believe me, you'll want to. I'll be there, so if you're a regular Miss Conduct reader please come by and introduce yourself. (Don't ask me any questions, though, as it's Saturday and I really shouldn't be working.)
