Rawr Practice | Fish Piñata | Gargantuan Ghosts

Issue #248

tilted Erlenmeyer flask logo, then "casualSTEM"

Whoops! I had this all ready to go last month and, well, then another month happened before I hit send. Sooo now you get even MORE fun science links to check out!

Including one of my favorite awards of all time, the Ig Nobel Prizes.

The Ig Nobels are a good-natured parody of the Nobel Prizes; they honor “achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think.”

Jennifer Ouellette, ars Technica

Including a winner that was even featured here in casualSTEM! Can you tell which one?
