Humour that makes you think – cat research at LiU

Linguist Robert Eklund shares an Ig Nobel Prize with two other researchers for their work on how cats communicate with humans in different ways. The alternative Nobel Prizes are awarded to research that makes people laugh and then think.
The most important thing that a university does is to educate people, and teachers who stimulate others to learn are worthy of all the encouragement we can give them. We want in this way to demonstrate that teachers are just as important to a university as researchers.
Professor Emeritus Ingemar Ingemarsson, founder of the Ingemar Teaching Prize
