We ended the MultiPark year in December as we started it in January: with a MultiPark Retreat! The December retreat was our first big meeting IRL after the pandemic, and it turned out to be a much appreciated event. Thank you to all participants, and thank you once again to the retreat organizing committee for doing such a great job! 2022 was a year of “reopening”. Like a butterfly spreads its win

The extreme cold, harsh environment and constant hunt for food means that Arctic animals have become specialists in saving energy. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a previously unknown energy-saving method used by birds during the polar night. Researchers from Lund University and the University of Tromsø have examined the immune system strength of the Svalbard rock pta

There is a considerable risk that plastic waste in the environment releases nano-sized particles known as nanoplastics, according to a new study from Lund University. The researchers studied what happened when takeaway coffee cup lids, for example, were subjected to mechanical breakdown, in an effort to mimic the degr

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered well-preserved pigments and other biomolecules in a 54 million-year-old baby sea turtle. The molecular analyses show that the turtle’s shell contained pigments to protect it from harmful UV rays of the sun. The researchers investigated the microscopic and molecu

Certain complications during pregnancy bring an increased risk of heart disease later on. However, there is still much to learn about how arteriosclerosis develops between pregnancy and heart disease later in life. A large new study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden shows that narrowing and calcification of the blood vessels of the heart are more common in women previously affected

Researchers at the Lund Stem Cell Center and Faculty of Medicine at Lund University are part of a new €4.5 million European doctoral training network that aims to improve how complex brain disorders are studied. The initiative will develop advanced models of the human brain, reducing reliance on animal testing and strengthening the relevance of preclinical research for patients. The programme, VIS

Artificial intelligence has gone from horror visions on film to a tool in everyone’s pocket. From spelling advice to shopping tips – and now to assigning work and measuring performance. What’s next? We met with organisational researcher Sverre Spoelstra to talk about algorithmic leadership and management. You may not have your boss in an app, yet. But the idea is not as futuristic as it may sound.

Congratulations to Jacob Vogel and Camila Consiglio who have been awarded grants to develop their research projects on Alzheimer's and fertility. Camila Consiglio's research focuses on infertility and the immune system that plays a central role in determining reproductive success.

The glymphatic system, which helps clear waste products from the brain, was discovered about a decade ago. Nicholas Bèchet’s project shines light on how it works in Alzheimer’s disease. On June 17, he defends his PhD thesis supervised by Iben Lundgaard at MultiPark. Here, he tells about his discoveries and why we should not compromise on our sleep. Tell us about your research! The glymphatic syste

Donald Trump’s trade wars have dominated the news cycle for quite some time. According to economist Fredrik NG Andersson, we risk becoming blind if we only focus on the short term. What is happening is not just about immediate effects but about the dawn of a new global order and the end of the world order that emerged in the 1990s after the Cold War.

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state
