TODAY: The Ig Informal Lectures (& webcast) at MIT

Most of the new Ig Nobel Prize winners will give free public talks TODAY, at MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). It starts at 1:00 pm (US eastern time).

Admission is free. But seating is limited, so you might want to arrive a bit early.

The lectures will be webcast here at Improbable.com (see below)

MIT—building 10, room 250

It’s a half-afternoon of improbably funny, informative, informal, brief public lectures and demonstrations:

The new Ig Nobel Prize winners will attempt to explain what they did, and why they did it.
Some past winners will return, to share their adventures. This year there will be a demonstration by Kazutaka Kurihawa and Koji Tsukada (acoustics prize, 2012) of a new, improved (and larger!) version of the Speech Jammer, the machine that disrupts talking.
Winners will be available for audience members to chat with, both before and after the lectures.

The Ig informal Lectures are a free event, organized in cooperation with the MIT Press Bookstore.
