We present the inaugural, ultimate, and grand final EQUS Ig Nobel Prize!
EQUS is coming towards an end, and there's plenty of Type 1 success to celebrate. But that is for another place, because the stories that end up being told and re-told (and re-told) with the most relish are invariably about Type 2 enjoyment. These incidents were not perhaps enjoyable in the moment but have grown to become our favourite anecdotes to share and reminisce about! Would you rather endure wildlife in the lab, a travel cancellation involving "second-hand" accommodation, a smoke-and-mirrors masterclass, biosecurity evasion, or an interstate pronunciation prank?
Subscribe to hear more of the best stories about quantum science and the people working on groundbreaking quantum technologies.
