Here is some trivia.

Andre Geim is the only scientist to have won both the Nobel and Ig Nobel prizes.

He won the 2010 Nobel prize for physics for his work on graphene and the 2000 Ig Nobel prize for his studies on levitating frogs using magnets.

Geims work in levitating frogs may have provided the catalyst for his 2010 award.

Regards

Steven
