Chris was right, whale snot did win an Ig Nobel

Earlier this year you may have seen this post well, Dr Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse and her team were indeed awarded an Ig Nobel last night!

Long live simple solutions to difficult problems.

Dr Acevedo-Whitehouse told BBC News she was delighted to receive the spoof honour: "I was slightly bemused at first, to be honest, but I think that it is important to recognize (and communicate) that science can be fun. My colleagues and I are actually quite proud to receive this award now. Beyond the actual results (which are actually very interesting) we certainly have had fun doing our whale-snot research!"
