You may have seen Daniel Rosenberg performing as a performing chemist in the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies, and wondered, “What does this person do when he is not performing as a performing chemist in the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies?” Mike Szczys answers that question, writing on the Hackaday web site:
DEMONSTRATING SCIENCE AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY

He gave me a tour of the Science Center, as well as a behind the scenes look at some of the apparatus he works with and has built….
Here’s Daniel in action on the job, and in a video teaser for last year[2014]’s Ig Nobel ceremony:

UPDATE (September 13, 2015): Here’s the video teaser for the 2015 Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, starring Daniel:
