Improbable Research Party @ Chemical Heritage Foundation

Just because the Geekadelphia crew are geeks, doesn’t mean we don’t like a good party. After-all, there was that crazy VIP Yacht party last week, and our Section 8 celebration back in August. So we can all certainly appreciate this bash at the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the place to get your learn-on about the history of chemicals.

This Thursday night, October 1st, the Chemical Heritage Foundation will host a party to watch the live webcast of the 2009 Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. Now if that isn’t geek-tastic, I’m not sure what is. But wait… Ig Nobel Prize? Isn’t it just the Nobel Prize? Nope, this isn’t the regular Beautiful Mind sort of award ceremony. The Ig Nobel Prize honors “achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think. The prizes celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative, and spur interest in science, medicine, and technology.”

You need to register by… well, today. So get on that, and watch it on the big screen at the CHF. They’ll be open late, so attendees can explore the other exhibits.

UPDATE: The CHF has informed us that they’ve extended the registration to include walk-ins. So come on by. There will be cookies.
