Ig Nobel show Thursday at the IET in London (and live webcast)

The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) is hosting a big Ig Nobel show Thursday night (4 April), beginning at 6:00 pm.

It’s in the IET Building on Savoy Place (not far from Charing Cross), beginning at 6:oo pm.

The event is FREE (and also, we are told, unfettered) — but you’d best book reservations.

The event will also be WEBCAST LIVE.

Paper airplanes will be on hand, and in the air. The show features:

Marc Abrahams , organizer of the annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony
Siobhan Abeyesinghe   (Do hens have friends?)
Charlotte Burn  (Study of canine tail-chasing and human responses to it)
Dan Schreiber  (Improbable things I researched for  The Museum of Curiosity  and  QI )
Chris McManus, Ig Nobel Prize winner (Scrotal asymmetry in man and ancient sculpture). Professor McManus also will reveal the results of his recent, delicate Danish inquiry.

This is a featured event in the 2013 Ig Nobel Tour of the UK.
