The Journal of Irreproducible Results is a magazine of science humor.[1] It was established in Israel in 1955 by virologist Alexander Kohn and physicist Harry J. Lipkin, who wanted a humor magazine about science, for scientists.[2] It contains a mix of jokes, satire of scientific practice, science cartoons, and discussion of funny but real research.
