Majordomo Gary Dryfoos demonstrates the Medicine Prize winners’ study for “treating uncontrollable nosebleeds, using the method of nasal-packing-with-strips-of-cured-pork” at the 24th First Annual Ig Nobel Prizes awards ceremony at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts September 18, 2014. The annual prizes, meant to entertain and encourage global research and innovation, are awarded by the Annals of Improbable Research as a whimsical counterpoint to the Nobel Prizes which will be announced next month.
