This new workshop is a perfect opportunity for you to get started with your data management plan – or to update your current one. Workshop leader Maria Johnsson explains why. A data management plan – what's in it for me as a researcher? – A data management plan (DMP) facilitates a structured and secure data management. It is essentially a document which defines how your data being handled througho

On 17 December, the Faculty Board decided on the Faculty of Science’s continued work regarding a potential establishment in Science Village. This means that it will not support the continued planning of Nanolab Science Village (Stage 1). The decision is based, among other things, on the report "Assessment of Critical Mass for Establishment in Science Village", which highlights both the opportuniti

Air pollution does not only harm human health. New research shows that birds also experience measurable biological changes after breathing in soot particles from traffic emissions. While the effects of polluted air are well documented in humans, far less is known about how animals with different physiologies respond. A new doctoral thesis from Lund University provides fresh evidence of how vehicle

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, researchers have tried to capture the electrical current that bacteria generate through their own metabolism. So far, however, the transfer of the current from the bacteria to a receiving electrode has not been efficient at all. Now, researchers from institutions including Lund University have achieve

On most days, the flatlands west of Lund are inhabited mainly by grain crops and incessant wind. The week after Midsummer, a field near Borgeby Castlefield becomes a bustling gathering place, with exhibition tents, flags and field demonstrations. The event is Borgeby fältdagar (field days), one of Sweden’s largest agricultural fairs for farmers, advisors, industry representatives and anyone with t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By generating 3D images of bumblebees’ compound eyes, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered how bumblebees differ in their vision. The results could contribute to increased knowledge about the pollination process - once researchers are able to determine which flowers different bees see easily, and w

BECC researchers are co-authors of a paper in Nature Climate Change: Optimal stomatal behavior around the world. Plants trade water for carbon. Every litre of water they extract from the soil allows them to take up a few more grams of carbon from the atmosphere in order to grow. A new global study published 2 March in Nature Climate Change shows that plants use their water wisely. They are adapted
