How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years

Few conflicts today seem as difficult to resolve as the one between Israel and Palestine – a conflict concerning territory, religion and historical claims reaching back a thousand years. The recent violence between Israel and Hamas, the infected question of Jerusalem’s status and an increasing separation between the populations make the journey towards peace seem particularly long.

Christmas music is more than background noise to the hustle and bustle.

Singing accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, and binds us together as human beings. But what do kids sing in school, how much, and in what way? David Johnson, researcher at the Malmö Academy of Music, investigates this in his the

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
