The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I’m just guessing.
the fucking Nobel Prize?!
No, the Ig Nobel Prize:
The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)
That guy may even choose his house. : )
Hermit crabs … have adapted to occupy empty scavenged mollusc shells to protect their fragile exoskeletons.
I know of a web conferencing software which has one video per shared camera and a shared screen video. How many automatic pop-out pip windows will I get?

But i.e. there is no recycling process for old wind turbines (carbon fiber) - they need to be replaced after 30 years or solar panels (composite material). And e-cars need batteries which need lithium (mines). Also rare earths are needed for generators and electric motors - rare earths are… rare and the production requires lots of energy and produces toxic waste (in China… which has kind of a monopoly on it. )
Maybe solvable problems in the long run but currently these are unsolved issues…
Yes, that’s the body position where the spider silk is made. But spiderman is wearing trousers (and underpants I suppose).
There was a (ig nobel prize winning?) study which asked the question if someone could pollute a clean or sterile environment by farting into it: The team of scientists concluded that it is safe (regarding… particles) as long as you wear underpants/ trousers.

You could split it yourself. It’s ceramics after all.
Well, if the billboard says so…
Nice picture though. :)
I know some of those words.
