The 35th 이그노벨Ig Nobel
TED영어수업
"A team of Japanese researchers has won this year's Ig Nobel prize in Biology for showing that painting cows with black-and-white stripes halved the number of fly bites, suggesting a potential alternative to pesticides."
"일본 연구진은 흑백 줄무늬가 있는 소를 그리는 것이 파리에 물린 횟수를 절반으로 줄여 살충제의 잠재적 대안을 제시했다는 점을 보여줘 올해 이그 노벨 생물학상을 수상했다."
이그노벨상은 일반적인 노벨상과 달리 "웃게 하고, 생각하게 하는" 엉뚱하거나 기발한 연구에 수여되는 패러디 상입니다. 제35회 이그노벨상이 "첫 번째 년례(annual)"라는 표현을 쓴 것은, 1991년에 시작된 이그노벨상이 35번째 임에도 단 한 해도 빠지지 않은 연속성의 강조, 그리고 유쾌한 패러디적 언어유희(농담)에서 비롯된 표현입니다.
- 이그노벨상 개요
1991년 미국 유머과학잡지 《기발한 연구 연감(Annals of Improbable Research)》에서 제정되어 시작되었습니다. ‘Ignoble’(불명예스러운, 괴짜)와 ‘Nobel’(노벨상)을 조합한 명칭입니다. 매년 10월, 노벨상 발표 1~2주 전 하버드 대학교 샌더스 극장에서 시상식이 열립니다. "다시는 할 수도 없고, 해서도 안 되는 업적"에 수여하며, 일반적으로 듣기에 엉뚱하지만 학문적으로도 의미가 담긴 연구가 선정됩니다.
- 수상 분야 및 특징
주요 시상 분야는 물리학상, 생물학상, 유체역학상, 평화상, 경제학상 등으로, 필요에 따라 새로운 분야도 추가됩니다. 반복할 수 없거나, 반복해서는 안 되는 업적 또는 바보 같으면서도 시사점이 있어야 함.
상금은 특별하게 ‘10조 짐바브웨달러’ 같은 상징적·화폐적 가치가 거의 없는 액수가 수여되기도 합니다.
- 대표 수상 사례
2000년: 안드레 가임 교수는 ‘자석을 이용한 개구리 공중부양 실험’으로 이그노벨 물리학상, 이후 그래핀 연구로 실제 노벨물리학상까지 수상함.
2017년: 유체역학 부문, 한지원 씨가 ‘커피를 들고 뒷걸음질할 때 커피가 쏟아지는 현상’을 분석한 논문으로 수상.
2023년: 스마트 변기를 개발한 한국 연구진도 수상하는 등 국내 연구자도 매년 여러 번 수상하고 있습니다.
시상 목적과 의의 일반적인 과학상을 넘어, 엉뚱하고 창의적인 생각이 과학의 발전에도 크게 기여할 수 있음을 알리기 위해 제정되었습니다. 엉뚱한 듯 보이는 연구도 학문적 의미와 사회적 메시지를 전달한다는 것이 이그노벨상의 취지입니다. 이그노벨상은 과학에 대한 관심과 창의력의 중요성을 환기시키는 독특한 상으로, 해마다 전 세계적으로 큰 주목을 받고 있습니다.

참고로 '247강의'란 24초 이내에 주제를 설명하고, 7개의 단어로 메시지를 요약해 내는 전통적인 이그노벨의 발표원칙이다.
45:03 It's time for more 247 lectures. This 247 lecture will be delivered
by Deborah Anderson. professor of obstetrics, gynecology and viology,
immunology and microbiology at Boston University's Chobanian and
abdician school of medicine and co-winner of the 2008 Ignobel
Chemistry Prize.
45:27 She won that prize for discovering that CocaCola is an effective
spermicide 살정제 under some conditions. The topic cola. First, a complete
technical description of the subject in 24 seconds. On your mark, get
set, go.
45:50 When Coca-Cola was invented in 1888, it contained a potent mix
of cocaine and caffeine and was marketed as a medicinal syrup for the
treatment of morphine addiction and an array of neurologic and
digestive disorders. The cocaine was removed in 1906 and carbonated
water was added, transforming it into the iconic drink we know today.
Over 1.8 billion drinks are sold each day on Earth.
46:17 And now a clear summary that anyone can understand in seven
words. On your mark, get set, go.
46:23 Coca-Cola. Refreshing spritzer or mysterious elixir 묘약?
46:36 This next 247 lecture will be delivered by Gus Rancator,
proprietor소유자 of Tuscanini's ice cream shop. The topic ice cream.
First a complete technical description of the subject in 24 seconds. On
your mark, get set, go. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
47:39 And now a clear summary that anyone can understand in seven
words. On your mark, get set, go. Yum, yum, yum, yum.
52:28... The peace prize. 52:36 The winners are from the Netherlands,
the UK, and Germany. The Ignobel Peace Prize is awarded to Fritz
Rener, Ingga Caresburgen, Mattfield, and Jessica Verman for showing
that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in
a foreign language.
53:06 The winners could not travel to the USA. Their acceptance
speech will be read on their behalf by Nobel laureates수상자 Fonte Pabbo
and Robert Mertton.
53:31 This is acceptance speech for the 2027 Nobel I Noel Peace Prize.
Uh I'm delivering this speech on their behalf as you understand. We
made an important discovery. Drunken Germans usually pronounce
Dutch better than sober냉철한 Germans.
53:55 And it's not just that the drinkers thought their Dutch was
better. Independent raters평가자들 judged their pronunciation as clearer.
Like many great scientific ideas, the idea of this study actually came up at
an international conference in the evening at a bar.
54:20 It started with colleagues from different countries speaking
different languages and sometimes joking. I swear I speak better Dutch
after a glass of wine. Rather than leaving it at that, we decided to test
it properly.
54:37 What we found was fascinating. A low dose, a dose of alcohol,
less than a pint of beer, did make people think they spoke Dutch
better. But independent raters actually judged their pronunciation to
be clearer. In short, a small sip seemed to boost confidence without
making the words fall apart.
55:14 Now, before anyone rushes to claim language lessons as
taxdeductible bar bills 공제대상 술집 비용청구서, let us stress we do not recommend alcohol as a tool to learn a new language. At higher doses, it seriously impairs손상시킨다
memory, attention, and behavior. the very skills you need to learn a
language and frankly to function in everyday life.
55:47 So thank you again for this recognition. We take the science
seriously even if we started with a laugh over a drink. We want to
thank our co-authors Ingga Kesk Bergen and Matt Field as well as
everyone who supported this research. Most of all the students who
were involved in the study and data collection. Thank you.
28:08 To honor the next 247 lecturer, we ask you, everyone in the
audience who has one, to reach into your pocket, take your
smartphone and hold it aloft. Okay, everyone here on the stage, you too.
28:27 This 247 lecture will be delivered by Trisha Pasicha,
gastroenterenterologist위장병전문의 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an
instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and co-author of the medical study titled 'Smartphone Phone Use on the Toilet and the Risk of Hemorrhoids'치질.
28:54 The topic of this lecture, smartphones and the risk of hemorrhoids. First, a complete technical description of the subject in 24 seconds. On your mark, get set, go.
29:11 We conducted a cross-sectional study of adults undergoing
screening colonoscopy대장내시경검사를 받는 and observed that the majority reported
employing portable handheld computing devices during defecatory배변 episodes.
A multivariat logistic regression model다변량 로지스틱 회귀 모델 demonstrated that defecation associated computing device utilization was independently associated with a 46% increased odds확률 of endoscopically verified내시경으로 검증된 hemorrhoidal disease.
29:40 And now a clear summary that anyone can understand in seven words. On your mark, get set, go. Smartphones are a pain in the butt엉덩이에 고통. '목에 가시'에 빗댄 표현으로 사용.
