Alumni are a group that we sometimes almost manage to overlook, but given that our network of alumni is approaching 50,000 individuals, they are certainly worthy of our attention! Even more so, perhaps, as we approach the end of an academic year with many students about to take the step to becoming alumni. Getting alumni involved in activities brings many advantages for a university. This might in

A new study from Lund University shows that migratory birds fly most efficiently at moderate speeds – precisely the pace they use during their long journeys across continents. Now, at the end of summer, when thrush nightingales leave Sweden for Southern Africa, they don’t fly flat out. Instead, they cruise at a steady pace – and according to the study from Lund, that’s no coincidence.Migratory bir

Interest in type 1 diabetes screening is growing as methods improve and new treatments become available to more patients. New research at Lund University demonstrates how screening for autoimmune diseases can be carried out on a large-scale basis. A new treatment that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the United States. If the treatment Teplizumab becomes availabl

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

A recent review article in Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems proposed a new conceptual model on nitrogen (N) cycle responses to elevated CO2: gross N mineralization is stimulated in N-limited ecosystems only, but not in phosphorus limited ones. Authors are BECC researchers Tobias Rütting and Louise C. Andresen. The researchers have conducted a meta-analysis on gross N transformations in free air
