Study of French postmen's testicles is an Ig Nobel winner
Nappy-changing machine and saliva calculation also triumph in annual science prize
Mieusset and his accomplice, Bourras Bengoudifa, recruited French postmen to settle a mystery that has received precious little attention: whether a man’s testicles are both the same temperature. Having crunched the numbers from delicately placed sensors, Mieusset only deepened the mystery. According to his studies, the left one is warmer, but only when a man has his clothes on.
Also:
the medical education prize for a US group that showed that acoustic clickers used in dog training also boost the skills of surgical students.
Which reads:
Two surgical tasks were taught and compared using two teaching strategies: (1) an operant learning methodology using a conditioned, acoustic reinforcer (a clicker) for positive reinforcement; and (2) a more classical approach using demonstration alone.
[...]
The operant learning group achieved better precision tying the locking, sliding knot than did the control groupPaging Mr. Pavlov; Ива́н Па́влов to the white courtesy phone please...

@Tsaukpaetra The paper which @El_Heffe posted in that thread did earn the authors an Ig Nobel prize this year, the study and paper itself seem to date from 2007. He might have forgotten to post a link explaining the context.

Do we really need two testicle threads in one day?

One for each testicle!

@El_Heffe I suppose I'm at my limit then. Any future ones will have to be assigned to someone else's testicles, not mine.

But is this the warmer thread?
