Congratulations to @matildabrindle.bsky.social & @stuwest.bsky.social who have won an Ig Nobel Prize for their research on the evolution of kissing! Their study involved defining what constitutes a kiss - not as easy a task as you might expect 👇 https://bit.ly/4gHcmL3 @ox.ac.uk

The IgNobel for Biomechanics goes to @matildabrindle.bsky.social, @stuwest.bsky.social and C. Talbot for a precise definition of kissing (provided in the comment below). That's well and good, but I think Dr Brindle's work on non-reproductive sex behaviours should be getting an IgNobel too. 🧪💋

While our paper was under review, @rbonifacii.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social Bonifacii et al. (2026) independently addressed the same question using complementary methods and reached a similar conclusion. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 12/13
