1 week agoIg Nobel Prize ceremony moves abroad over US safety fears
The Ig Nobel Prize, held in the US for 35 years, is relocating to Zurich, Switzerland in 2026 due to safety concerns for attendees.
Four of last year's 10 winners opted to skip the ceremony rather than travel to the US, and the situation has not improved. Nor is it just the Ig Nobels being affected by the hostile US environment for international travel. Many international gaming developers are choosing to skip this year's weeklong Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, citing similar concerns.
