- Engineering, for remote sampling of whale snot
- Medicine, for reducing asthma symptoms with a roller coaster
- Transportation planning, for laying out rail systems using a slime mold
- Physics, for the finding that wearing socks on top of boots improves traction on icy surfaces
- Peace, for the finding that swearing does reduce pain

- Economics, to half of Wall Street, as thanks for our current economy
- Chemistry, for showing that oil and water do mix
