I don't understand why the fact that she "won" this satiric prize is being included in the lead; it seems like something embarrassing rather than notable. I also think it should not be included in the description of her work, but in a separate "Awards and recognition" section. Yoninah (talk) 19:42, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I see winning an Ig Nobel Prize as a great achievement, but I have noticed that other people disagree with this. I added it into the lead, because to me it is a major prize to win and it is often included in the sources about her. Achaea (talk) 13:20, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
