These are my top three favorites.

ARCHAEOLOGY: Astolfo Gomes de Mello Araujo and Jose Carlos Marcelino for 
showing armadillos can scramble the contents of an archaeological dig.

CHEMISTRY: Sheree Umpierre, Joseph Hill and Deborah Anderson for 
discovering that Coca-Cola is an effective spermicide, and C.Y. Hong, 
C.C. Shieh, P. Wu and B.N. Chiang for proving it is not.

ECONOMICS: Geoffrey Miller, Joshua Tyber and Brent Jordan for 
discovering that exotic dancers earn more when at peak fertility.

This one, I would just love to learn more about!

COGNITIVE SCIENCE: Toshiyuki Nakagaki, Hiroyasu Yamada, Ryo Kobayashi, 
Atsushi Tero, Akio Ishiguro and Agota Toth for discovering that slime 
molds can solve puzzles.

This story has a little more coverage of some of the winners.
