Ecology professor Scott Carver holds a wombat poo that he preserved in acrylic. Wombat poo is square, and no one knew why until Carver and a team of scientists investigated. Their efforts won a 2019 Ig Nobel Prize, which honors achievements that “first make people laugh and then make them think.” (Photo: Allyson Mann)
