The 2025 Ig Nobel-winning research was as wacky as ever. But wars, visa restrictions, Trump's border and research policies, and even an all-too-frequent airplane incident kept nearly half the winning teams from traveling to Boston @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

The Ig Nobels are science’s most lighthearted event. This year is ‘not typical’

Amid Trump research cuts, visa restrictions, and international conflicts, some winners sit out the celebration of whimsical science

Who am I to be mentoring someone?

I was just a first-year graduate student who still regularly sought guidance myself; what advice could I have to offer?
