Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Marc Abrahams

On October 2nd, Harvard University hosts the wildly popular Ig Nobel Awards at Sanders Theater, celebrating the past year’s wackiest achievements in science, economics, and peace. Tickets for this one are hard to come by, but you don’t need tickets for Harvard Book Store’s event with Ig Nobel Originator Marc Abrahams when he talks about the awards the following week.

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Tuesday, October 7th Marc Abrahams will be talking about his book, The Ig Nobel Prizes: The Annals of Improbable Research. Read about the professor who proved that toast falls buttered-side-down more often than not and the Southern Baptist Church of Alabama, which devised a formula to determine how many Alabamans will go to Hell. An entertaining exhibition of brains and determination, The Ig Nobel Prizes is ideal for anyone who first wants to laugh and then wants to think.
