Peace-building, mediation and justice issues have always been on the agenda. But the researcher path was not the obvious choice for Karin Aggestam, who has now been appointed to the prestigious Pufendorf chair. She is both the first woman and the first political scientist to obtain it – and she hopes to pave the way for an international Master’s programme in diplomacy. Karin Aggestam will be insta

As a young man, when Mats Bohgard was working at a chemical factory during a leave from studies, he was urged to “Come back and fix the work environment to make it fit for human beings!”. Mats Bohgard. “Even though they said it half-jokingly, the truth is that they were experiencing every conceivable work environment problem: chemical exposure, noticeable alcohol abuse, extreme noise levels and ma

Two-year-old Arvid will soon undergo his third heart operation. This time, the procedure will be safer and quicker, due to a new simulation method that researchers have developed for children with heart disease. It is Monday afternoon in Ward 67 at Skåne University Hospital and in one of the rooms, two-year-old Arvid is having his heart checked. A cartoon is playing on the TV above the hospital be

I det område där ljus och materia möts, gör Mattias Bertolino en teoretisk undersökning av fotojonisering. Med fokus på flerfotonjonisering och dess samspel med ädelgasatomer utforskar han det intrikata samspelet mellan extremt ultraviolett ljus och infraröda fält. Hans mål är att förbättra vår förståelse av de grundläggande interaktionerna mellan ljus och materia genom att reda ut de komplexa fak

Protecting, planting and restoring coastal ecosystems has attracted increased attention as a way of capturing and storing carbon in mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows. In her dissertation, Terese Thoni has investigated the importance of these ecosystems in relation to the political climate negotiations. Ten years ago, the concept of "blue carbon" was established to describe the carbon c

A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce

“It was previously believed that you are stuck with the genes you were born with, regardless if they are favourable or unfavourable. But now it seems that you can affect how your inherited genes manifest themselves”, says diabetes researcher Charlotte Ling. Charlotte Ling.

Synchrotron radiation helps vision researcher Emily Baird create three-dimensional images of how insects see the world. In the future, this could lead to sighted drones that navigate through the air like insects, without being remote controlled from the ground. “I enjoy research more than anything, and the most fun part is that I am forced to be creative and make constant progress, says Emily Bair

Love poems, playing cards and secret notes. For half a millennium, people who have attended mass at Lund Cathedral have found ways to pass the time when the sermons felt too slow. In a few years, the Lund University Historical Museum will introduce a new cabinet of curiosities, containing notes and strange objects which have fallen down or been hidden between the choir stalls inside the Cathedral.

During the summer, Kristina Lång's research received a lot of attention in the media, nationally as well as internationally. The study showed that AI-assisted breast cancer screening is a safe alternative to radiologists' double-reading, reducing the workload of the overburdened profession by as much as 44 percent. We asked Kristina Lång about her experiences. Also, tips on how to increase outreac

Mikael Lund is a chemist who doesn’t wear a lab coat. Instead, his research involves computer models of atoms and molecules. Being named a Future Research Leader means both freedom and new challenges. “Using computer models, we can zoom in on molecular details to gain insights that are difficult to achieve with classic experiments”, says Mikael Lund, a theoretical chemist.
