Studies on constipated scorpions, blind dates, and ice cream therapy are among the scientific work that won researchers the 2022 Ig Nobel Prize, where Ig stands for “ignoble”. The 32nd Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony was conducted virtually on September 15, 2022 (September 16 in India). The researchers were honoured in 10 categories for their scientific work. Awarded annually since 1991, the Ig Nobel Prize is a satirical prize that celebrates ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. The bimonthly magazine Annals of Improbable Research confers these awards less than one month before the real Nobel prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.
Why Is The Ig Nobel Prize Awarded?
The Ig Nobel Prize Awards are “honor achievements that make people LAUGH, then THINK,” according to the official website of Improbable Research. The objective behind the Awards is to “celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people’s interest in science, medicine, and technology”.
The categories in which researchers were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize are Applied Cardiology, Literature, Biology, Medicine, Engineering, Art History, Physics, Peace, Economics, and Safety Engineering. This year, the Ig Nobel Committee did not award a Chemistry Prize. However, the Medicine Prize went to a chemotherapy-related discovery.
Applied Cardiology Prize
Researchers from Czech Republic, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Aruba received this year’s Applied Cardiology Prize. The researchers who received the prize are Eliska Prochazkova, Elio Sjak-Shie, Friederike Behrens, Daniel Lindh, and Mariska Kret.
They received the Applied Cardiology Prize for their research on blind dates. The researchers sought and found evidence that when new romantic partners meet for the first time, and feel attracted to each other, their heart rates synchronise. Their study was published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
Ig Nobel Prize Award 2022
Every September, the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony is held in Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre. Nobel Laureates physically confer the Ig Nobel Prizes to researchers. For the last three years, the ceremony has been held in virtual mode. The theme of this year’s ceremony was “knowledge”.
The Nobel Laureates presented the Ig Nobel Prizes with the help of video trickery. In the official webcast, the Nobel Laureates can be seen handing the prize off screen, while the winners reached out and showed a prize they had been sent.
The Nobel Laureates who presented this year’s Ig Nobel Prize Awards are Esther Duflo (2019 Nobel Prize in Economics), Frances Arnold (2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Donna Strickland (2018 Nobel Prize in Physics), Marty Chalfie (2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Eric Maskin (2007 Nobel Prize in Economics), Barry Sharpless (2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Rich Roberts (1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine) and Jerome Friedman (1990 Nobel Prize in Physics).
