Royal climate change researcher Harriet Bulkeley doesn’t believe that directives from above cause us to change our behaviour. On the other hand, she believes in the creative and fumbling environmental experiments that she has seen popping up in cities around the world. Now she is going to study climate-friendly initiatives in Sweden. Harriet Bulkeley at the royal lunch following her lecture. Photo

“My first project was about giving poor families in Thailand the opportunity to send their children to school. A student and I helped set up chicken farms at the schools, which the children took care of. The money they earned by selling the eggs on the markets covered their school fees”. Leif Bjellin.

Fanny Hellgren's solo exhibition features several paintings from the artist's latest series. The astonishing canvases radiate soothing and pleasant feelings and by contemplating these non-figurative compositions one after another, one can sense a continuous rhythm. A pulsation, emanating from layers upon layers of acrylic paint, attracts us to track and understand its language and the dialogue tha

70 hospitals in 15 countries, 1 900 patients and three years of study – this is the framework for the world’s largest clinical study of cardiac arrest, TTM2, which is about to begin. The study is run by Niklas Nielsen, researcher at the Centre for Cardiac Arrest at Lund University and medical consultant at the general hospital in Helsingborg, Sweden. The question to be answered once and for all is

I took part in two interesting seminars a few weeks ago. The first was entitled “The academic book stands firm: Why a leading university needs its own Press in turbulent times”. The other seminar focused on how to apply for and obtain grants from the European Research Council (ERC). The seminar on how to write and publish academic books commendably highlighted the importance of books in the conduc

There is now an updated platform for strategic work which will guide our initiatives between 2025 and 2027. This update is an important part of our efforts to remain relevant and competitive in a rapidly changing world. The world around us is becoming increasingly unpredictable and complex, and in order to meet the new challenges we must act more quickly and in new ways. The platform for strategic

A modern version of collegial leadership! That is the objective for Charlotte Simonsson – a management consultant who returned to the University and became a manager herself. Here, she finds a forum for continuous discussion about leadership is lacking. “We are so good at analysing and examining everything else – but we barely talk about what we are like as leaders ourselves”, she says. Many thing

People with lactose intolerance are at lower risk of suffering from lung, breast and ovarian cancers, according to a new study by researchers at Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden. ”We found that people with lactose intolerance, who typically consume low amounts of milk and other dairy products, have a reduced risk of lung, breast and ovarian cancers”, says Jianguang Ji, Associate Professo

Some people experience cold not only as feeling cold, but actually as a painful sensation. This applies even to fairly mild temperatures – anything below 20°C. A group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden have now identified the mechanism in the body that creates this connection between cold and pain. It turns out that it is the same receptor that reacts to the pungent substances in musta

It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive – most can be neutralised with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to spread. The interior of a cancer tumour is a hostile environment with oxygen defici

Being able to predict diseases before they develop has become somewhat akin to the search for the Holy Grail. The difference is that research has a greater chance of success in finding what they are looking for than King Arthur's knights did. And in many cases, there are significant health benefits to being able to predict disease risk early: prevention is better than cure. Biomarkers are trace el

Fler kvinnor än män söker för mag-tarmproblem. Varför? En avhandling från Lunds universitet försöker ge svaret och lägger samtidigt ett oväntat diabetesfynd i dagen. Det är oklart varför förekomsten av mag-tarmrelaterade sjukdomar som till exempel kollagen kolit och IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) är högre bland kvinnor än män.- Jag har i min avhandling undersökt hormonella förhållanden, rörlighet

Med en ny och mycket känslig metod har brittiska forskare visat att kroppen även efter långvarig typ 1 diabetes fortsätter att producera insulin i små mängder. Det bevisar att det finns levande insulinceller kvar, menar de och argumenterar för att upptäckten kan vara viktig enligt devisen "så länge det finns liv finns det hopp". Det innebär att även ”gamla” typ 1 diabetiker skulle ha nytta av en m
