Ig Nobel Prize 2007 Winners

Ig Nobel PrizesHere is a list of 2007 winners of Ig Nobel Prizes. The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes and are given each year in early October — around the time the recipients of the genuine Nobel Prizes are announced. The Ig Nobel Prizes were created by the Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), a science magazine.

The Winners:

Medicine - Brian Witcombe, of Gloucestershire Royal NHS Foundation Trust, UK, and Dan Meyer for their probing work on the health consequences of swallowing a sword.

Physics - A US-Chile team who ironed out the problem of how sheets become wrinkled.

Biology - Dr Johanna van Bronswijk of the Netherlands for carrying out a creepy crawly census of all of the mites, insects, spiders, ferns and fungi that share our beds.
