A levitating frog, a necrophiliac duck, taxi drivers’ brains—the Ig Nobel prizes have shined a spotlight on offbeat work. Nature provides an inside look at how winners feel about this sometimes unwanted ‘honour.’ 🧪
How a silly science prize changed my career
A levitating frog, a necrophiliac duck, taxi drivers’ brains — the Ig Nobel prizes have shined a spotlight on offbeat work. Here’s an inside look at how winners feel about this sometimes unwanted ‘honour’.

An epigenetic memory of obesity🧬
Turns out adipose tissue holds onto its ‘obese state’ even after weight loss. This paper explains why the yo-yo effect is so real.
Well… I’ve finally found the scientific reason why I can’t lose weight!🤔🤔🤔

Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss
Nature - Stable epigenetic changes indicate the existence of an obesogenic memory in mouse adipocytes that primes cells for pathological responses in an obesogenic environment and potentially...

Slow breathing really does calm the mind—and now we know why! 🧠🐭
This study uncovers a neural circuit from the anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) that slows breathing to ease anxiety. Science just backed up the power of deep breaths!
