The 17th annual Ig Nobel prizes, presented Thursday night at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre,. recognize research that makes people laugh and then think. This year?s prizes were awarded for scholarly efforts such as developing a way to extract vanilla from cow dung and studying what makes sheets wrinkle. Seven of the 10 winners, who hail from five continents, traveled to Harvard at their own expense to accept the awards, which were handed to them by genuine Nobel Laureates.
