Extra Credit with Professor Mark Sivak! 📝

Here I share something design or tech related from the week for those looking for just a little extra credit.

Something that has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition of mine is listening to the Science Friday podcast where every Black Friday they have coverage of a very unique award ceremony, the Ig Nobel Prizes. The Ig Nobel prizes are for silly explanations of science papers. The prizes are presented by actual Nobel winners and there is usually a bunch of other nerdy, silly antics during the ceremony like a Mini-Opera about Know-it-alls and lectures that are explanations of a science experiment in 24 seconds and then 7 words. My favorite prize this year was the engineering prize for this paper. The paper itself is in Japanese but the experiment was looking at the best way for a hand to grip a knob. The researchers were able to see how many fingers were used, the grip type and more, very cool.

Thoughts and feedback about the extra credit this week or want to submit one for next week? Email me at m.sivak@northeastern.edu.
