What do you explore in your PhD-project?  I explore the role that Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) plays in the regulation of Wildlife consumption in the Colombian Amazon. This is quite interesting, and a key topic as there are around 65 indigenous ethnic groups living in the Colombian Amazon forest. Working, and learning with them, about sustainable use of this ecosystem, is without a doubt

During the past couple of months, the Department has had the pleasure of welcoming Lindsey Blumell as a visiting research fellow. Ms. Blumell is doing her doctorate (PhD) at Texas Tech University, USA; her research focuses on the investigation of primarily NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) journalism in a digital age, international communication within the public sphere, and human rights. In res

Growing concerns over the threat posed by deceptive and false information have prompted the UK government to focus efforts on countering disinformation. Since 2018 a research team at ISK have supported the UK Government Communication Service (GCS) in this regard by developing a counter-disinformation toolkit. The RESIST Disinformation Toolkit provides a step-by-step approach to countering disinfor

Together with Sparbanken Skåne, LU Innovation awards an annual prize to ideas that are good enough to become the innovations of the future. This year, Elaine M'Nkubitu, student at the EMP programme at the IIIEE, is one of the winners. Her idea is to turn organic waste into affordable and sustainable fertilizer in Kenya, where she grew up. Congratulations Elaine! You’re one of the winners of the Fu

A team of NanoLund researchers sought ways to make students understand what is actually happening inside the “magic black box” of a commercial spectrophotometer.  “This set promotes discovery in a natural and self-motivating way. By changing samples in the spectrometer, we can explore a variety of materials and their properties,” says NanoLundian Jens Uhlig, one of the researchers behind the work.

Volcano or meteorite? Over the past 100 years, two different theories have been put forward to explain the formation of Lake Mien. However, researchers from Lund University can now definitively state in a new study that the lake in Småland was formed by a gigantic celestial object. It was long thought that the circular Lake Mien in southern Småland was the remains of a volcano. However, in 1910 th

They are called foraminifera and have lived in the world’s oceans for 545 million years. A research team has established in a new study that some species of this protist will probably cope swimmingly even in a climate-impacted future. This is due to their ability to respire nitrate. One consequence of climate change is higher water temperatures and reduced oxygen levels in the world’s oceans. This

Infant mortality in Malawi is among the highest in the world. In a new EU-funded project, researchers from Lund, Cork and Oxford will develop new mobile technology to help health care staff in the country diagnose and treat serious diseases earlier and more effectively. In rural Malawi, aid organisations’ health care staff use a disease manual called IMCI, developed by the World Health Organisatio

In recent years, researchers have tried to capture the electrical current that bacteria generate through their own metabolism. So far, however, the transfer of the current from the bacteria to a receiving electrode has not been efficient at all. Now, researchers from institutions including Lund University have achieved a slightly more efficient transfer of electrical current. One of society’s grea
