AI, artificial intelligence, is trendy. But where does the boundary go between humankind and machine and what should we use AI for? “It’s time to ask ourselves what humankind possesses that machines do not. How can they complement each other, rather than compete?” asks philosopher Jonna Bornemark. Will your future colleagues have human intelligence – or perhaps artificial? It may sound like a stra

Heatwaves and dry summer seasons have turned the Mediterranean basin into a global wildfire hotspot. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, wildfires raged across all of the Mediterranean, with devastating loss of lives, livelihoods, infrastructure and more than 620,000 ha forest area. LUCSUS researchers have studied barriers for collective action in preventing, responding, and adapting to fires, and ma

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence
