From penguin poop trajectories to bras that double as gas masks, the Ig Nobel Prizes celebrate the strangest achievements in science — the kind that make you laugh first and think later. In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, Amy dives into the weird and wonderful world of bizarre academic research, including duck necrophilia, fart-scent detection, robot poop cleaners, and why you shouldn’t trust overconfident idiots (science says so!). Discover the history behind the Ig Nobels, meet the wildest winners, and learn why silly science might just save the world — or at least keep us laughing along the way.
