Swansea Science Café (http://swansea.ac.uk/science/swanseasciencecafe) welcomed Marc Abrahams, the originator and master of ceremonies for the illustrious Ig Nobel Prizes for March's talk. These prizes celebrate the unusual, honour the imaginative and spur people's interest in science, medicine and technology. They are awarded every year in a gala ceremony at Harvard University by genuinely bemused, genuine Nobel laureates.
