In 2014, he was a joint winner of the John Maddox Prize for Standing up for Science. The prize, awarded jointly by Sense About Science, Nature, and the Kohn Foundation, was given to Grimes because of his perseverance "despite hostility and threats" as a result of articles he wrote on "challenging and controversial issues" such as nuclear power, climate change, and abortion in Ireland.

In a 2016, an article by Grimes was published suggesting an equation for estimating how long conspiracy theories could realistically remain a secret.
