Re: [tips] The First Individual To Win The Noble AND The IgNoble Prize
I was crushed to learn about this, as my dream had been to be the first to win both the Ig and the Nobel. But I feel better after seeing Mike's post. Maybe I could be the first psychologist to win both awards! I guess I'd better get back to work.

Beth
Thanks for the info, this was my first time attending, this being the "20th
first annual Ig Nobels". Just fun being in Harvard square ... central NH (as we
know) is ok, but Cambridge is a very special place! And yes, Miss Sweetie Pie
was present. I'm not sure about the ticket prices or the best time to buy, my
ticket was gift, but I'm sure it's advertised in the Journal of Improbable
Research. And slow-to-connect-the-dots me, I am glad you pointed out that our
Robin Abrahams is THE Robin Abrahams. Another reminder that this is a great
group.

John,
I'm so jealous that you got to go to the IgNobel award at Harvard!.
Okay, everybody there are going to be some fun links in this post, so if you're
kicking back with a glass of wine tonight and no papers to correct, check out
the following...
Some on the TIPS list may not know that "our own" Robin Abrahams (also famous
as "Miss Conduct" in the Boston Globe Magazine), http://robinabrahams.com/ and
her husband, Marc, put on this now famous award show. Check out
http://improbable.com/ which has lots of funny, quirky things related to the
IgNobel prizes. There's lots of coverage on youtube, as well as books published
about the IgNobels (
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=ignobel&x=0&y=0
) Be sure to check out Miss Sweetie Pie's role in keeping the recipients'
presentations short and sweet ("Please stop. I'm bored. Please stop. I'm
bored." I'll bet our students wish each of our classrooms had a Miss Sweetie
Pie. There's even a mug at CafePress with her plaintive cry:
http://www.cafepress.com/ignobel.419085496 ). And come on, if you can, you know
you want to be mentioned in the Luxuriant Hair (Flowing, Former and Facial)
Club for Scientists. http://improbable.com/project
s/hair/
The night is always sold out far in advance. NEXT year I'm going to remember to
try earlier to get a ticket. Reading over this post, I'm wondering if I should
add, "I'm Beth Benoit, and I approved of this message." Wow, what a groupie I
am!
