@cabd beautiful study - and surely a shoo-in for the #IgNobelPrize this year?

Sir Andre Geim is the only person to win both the Nobel and Ig Nobel prizes. He had been awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in 2000 for levitating a frog by magnetism, and awarded a Nobel Prize in physics in 2010 for his work with the electromagnetic properties of graphene.

This reminds me of thr 2010 #IgNobelPrize in physics about how wearing socks over shoes reduces the risk of slipping on ice!

On Thursday the #ScienceBusters with Martin Puntigam presented the #OberhummerAward to @MarcAbrahams and the #IgNobelPrize. This prize has been awarded before to people like Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim or Gulia Enders and some others. As yesterday was #followfriday you should think about following him. Dear @minkorrekt , just to make you jealous: I shook Marc’s hand, he is charming, interested and cool person.
