Ig Nobel Prize awarded for "cockroach milk"
The 36th Ig Nobel Prize ceremony took place in Zurich — an ironic award for scientific research that "first makes you laugh, then makes you think." This year, the jury determined the winners in several unusual categories.
In the field of chemistry, the award went to a study of the milk of viviparous cockroaches, which turned out to be extremely rich in protein and high in calories, which is why it is recommended for people wishing to lose weight. The physics prize was awarded to a group of scientists for developing a device that minimizes urine splashing. Meanwhile, the peace prize went to the authors of a concept according to which a person highly values those friends who show hostility toward an object they dislike.
