Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc

At least a third of the glaciers in the Himalayan range could melt due to climate change. This will have severe consequences for almost 2 billion people, including the village communities in Nepal, since the glaciers are an important water and energy source. Researcher Mine Islar is examining the future of renewable energy through micro-hydro power in Nepal by looking at collective action to find

The areas of research remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumer researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe developments in retail research over the past ten years. "In one of our latest reports, we call it “Retail as unusual”. There is no longer a ‘normal’ state in retail, no ‘business as usual’. Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small birds’ stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting infections. A small change in body temperature can be fatal for humans. Small birds, meanwhile, lower their body temperature at night by several degrees during th

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours
