Elk/Moose Crash Test - Volvo V70 Estate (70 Km/h)

Of course, this award isn’t for unimportant or poorly researched science, just off-beat studies of legitimate problems. Gens fellow Ignoble laureates included research done into how constipation affects the mating of scorpions (also, scorpions can get constipated. Who knew!) and a literature prize to a group of researchers who investigated why legal documents are so hard to understand.
