- anigbrowl 11y agoSurprised they gave him an Ig Nobel for something so obviously clever and useful. Perhaps the judges weren't done with breakfast when they encountered his invention.
- Veedrac 11y agoIg Nobel prizes aren't criticisms, nor do they imply an achievement isn't clever or useful. > The stated aim of the prizes is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think".
- lvs 11y agoSorry, this was all in the sales pitch, not the science. They refolded an egg protein called lysozyme, which has been refolded countless times before without anyone talking about unboiling eggs.
