Mark Abrahams,editor of the Annals of Improbable Research,and organiser of the Ig Nobel Prizes (Igs),about to be hit by a falling coconut. The Igs are awarded each year to scientists whose research "cannot or should not be reproduced". The Prizes are awarded at a ceremony at Harvard University,USA. The prizes have been awarded since 1991. The coconut is a reference to the 2001 Ig Nobel Prize for Medicine winner Peter Barss,who published a report in 1984 indicating that injuries due to falling coconuts were responsible for 2.5% or hospital admissions at a hospital in Papua New Guinea.
