The Ig Nobel Prizes are to some extent a parody of the Nobel Prize. Yesterday, Elena N. Bodnar, Raphael C. Lee, and Sandra Marijan won the public health prize for a bra that converts into a gas mask. An extract from their patent filing is below. It’s a clever idea, not that I know anything about gas masks, but presumably one of the challenges of gas masks is people aren’t keen to carry them around.
If you’re interested in processes for driving innovation within your organization, my book discusses the topic in detail.
