My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men
