[South American Overseas Chinese Daily Network compiled Zhangyu report] At the online award ceremony held on the 15th, two researchers from the University of São Paulo in Brazil (USP) became the winners of the 32nd Funny Nobel Prize in Biology.
Brazilian website G1 reported that the two Brazilian winners are Solimary Garcia Hernandez and Glauco Machado. Their award-winning research shows how "constipation caused by a lack of tail affects scorpions' mating".
According to the winner's research, Ananteris, a scorpion that is very common in South America, can be survived by evading predators, like a gecko. After losing the scorpion tail, they were unable to grow tail pricks and anus for the rest of their lives, resulting in permanent loss of the ability to excrete and sting pricks inject venom, and eventually died slowly due to constipation. However, the researchers found that male scorpions in this situation still have mating and reproductive abilities, and females can also give birth normally, but the number of small scorpions produced per fetus is less than the average.
Funny Nobel Prize, also known as Humor Nobel Prize , is an interesting imitation of the Nobel Prize. The award is presented annually to recognize scientific achievements that may seem hilarious at first glance and then thought-provoking. The bonus is 10 trillion Zimbabwe coins, this currency is no longer in circulation and is almost worthless.
Previously, in the 30th Funny Nobel Prize in 2020, leaders of many countries such as Brazilian President Bolsonaro (Bolsonaro) and US President Trump (Trump) won the Medical Education Award for disastrous guidance policies on public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The "winning achievements" are to "show mankind how politicians can immediately affect the lives and death of the people more than doctors and scientists."
