The Ig Nobel Prize is awarded to research that first makes people laugh and then makes them think. It's meant to celebrate unusual or trivial scientific achievements, often with a humorous twist. One of the past awards that dealt with Toxoplasma gondii, a parasitic organism, was given in 2013.

In 2013, the Ig Nobel Prize in Psychology was awarded to Laurent Bègue and a team of researchers for their study investigating the effects of Toxoplasma gondii on human behavior. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that commonly infects warm-blooded animals, including humans, and is usually transmitted through exposure to contaminated food or cat feces. It’s known to cause toxoplasmosis, but much of the interest in the parasite comes from its potential effects on behavior.

Their research suggested that people infected with Toxoplasma gondii might experience subtle changes in their behavior and personality. The parasite has been shown to cause changes in rodent behavior, making them less fearful of cats, which helps the parasite complete its life cycle (it needs to be in the intestines of a cat to reproduce). The study on humans was more exploratory, suggesting that infection could potentially influence traits like risk-taking behavior or even aspects of personality, though such claims are still debated in scientific circles.

This research stood out because it touched on the idea that a tiny parasite could influence human psychology, sparking intrigue and further investigations, despite remaining on the fringes of mainstream psychology and medicine.
