By The BriefBrief
The Ig Nobel Prizes were announced, and the ceremony is being held outside the United States for the first time in its 35-year history. Organizers say the shift to Zurich, Switzerland, reflects a more hostile U.S. climate toward science and foreigners, with fewer winners attending last year.

WHAT: The Ig Nobel ceremony is scheduled to be held in Zurich, Switzerland, outside the United States for the first time.
WHEN: Reported Sep 3, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET
