Cockroach milk researchers among Ig Nobel prize winners
Original: Scientists studying cockroach milk and nose-blowing win Ig Nobel prizes for quirky science
The 2025 Ig Nobel prizes, which honour research that first makes people laugh then think, have been awarded to scientists studying topics including cockroach milk and nose-blowing. The parody prizes, handed out by the journal Annals of Improbable Research, celebrate unusual but real scientific work. Winners included researchers examining the nutritional potential of milk from cockroaches and studies of the physics of blowing one's nose.
Why now: The annual Ig Nobel ceremony has just taken place, and its deliberately absurd-sounding winning studies always draw wide media attention.
