From eating fossils to reanimating dead spiders for use as mechanical gripping tools, this year's Ig Nobel prizes, for science that"makes people laugh, then think", are unveiledSeptember is here, and with it the year’s new crop of 10 Ig Nobel prizes, each for a piece of research chosen with the same simple criterion – that it makes people laugh, then think. As per tradition, Feedback presents them to you.
