The first phase was filled with creativity and collective effort. Elsa Trolle Önnerfors was surprised by how smooth the transition to distance education was. However, now the focus is more on how students are feeling and on perseverance – for how long is unknown "I used a year's worth of creativity in the first few weeks, and learnt that you can do a lot if you are not afraid to test things out",

The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation. Measurements taken by researchers at Lund University in Sweden of airborne virus in hospitals provide new knowledge about how best to adapt healthcare to reduce the risk of spread of infection. Researchers hope current international guidelines in he

What does the origin of life on Earth have to do with malignant tumour cells? In an unusual research project, a geochemist and a tumour biologist have joined forces to explain the emergence of animals in a new way, thereby questioning one of the cornerstones of evolution. Geochemist Emma Hammarlund is excited to see what kind of response she and Sven Påhlman will get based on their conclusions. We

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

When physical geographer Daniel Metcalfe explains what he does in the simplest possible way, he says he examines holes in leaves. However, the project is far more sophisticated than that, and could lead to a better way of caring for the forests of the world in the future.

All diabetics who developed the disease before the age of six months should be tested for a certain genetic mutation. Some of them might not need insulin injections but could manage their disease just as well, or better, with a simple tablet. “Neonatal diabetes is an uncommon form of diabetes caused by a genetic mutation, which means that insulin is not secreted in the right way”, says Sten Ivarss

Through a detailed study of leukaemia cells from more than 200 children, a research group at Lund University in Sweden has discovered two new types of childhood leukaemia. Using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS), the researchers were able to study the genome of cancer cells, which is how they discovered the new types of cancer. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a rare disease, but the mos

For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa

What would happen if all petrol and diesel-powered vehicles were removed from a smaller European city? Up to 4% of all premature deaths could be prevented, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers used Malmö, Sweden, as a case study to calculate the health costs of inner city traffic. Every year, over 400,000 people in Europe die prematurely due to air pollution - a

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj
