winner of this year's Ignoble Prize:
Dr Elena Bodnar won the public health prize for the bra that, in an emergency, can be converted into two gas masks.
She demonstrated her invention and gave one to each of the Nobel laureates as a gift.
Apparantly, she is originally from the Ukraine and was inspired to invent it because when Chenobyl blew up, people lacked protection from inhaling radiation contaminated dust.
