The winners were announced last night. Someone affiliated with the University was a cowinner of the Physics prize:

PHYSICS PRIZE: Katherine K. Whitcome of the University of Cincinnati, USA, Daniel E. Lieberman of Harvard University, USA, and Liza J. Shapiro of the University of Texas, USA, for analytically determining why pregnant women don’t tip over.

I’m not sure if my favorite was the study showing cows that have names give more milk than cows that don’t, or the guys in Mexico who made diamonds out of tequila, or the brassiere that can be converted into two gas masks.
