Meet Emil Eriksson…about students as consultants
… CEO of Lund University’s student consulting company Lunicore, which increased its turnover by 45 per cent last year.

“It’s no harder for researchers to combine career and family”
“Yes, academic life is uncertain and competitive. However, that’s the case even for those who don’t have families. I don’t think it’s any harder to have children if you are a researcher than in any other line of work.” Olga Göransson is also a member in the network WINGS (Women in Great Sciences). So says Olga Göransson, who heads a research group at the Department of Experimental Medical Science.

Expensive to publish with Open Access in prestigious journals
The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access.

Librarian Aron Lindhagen helps researchers with any questions they have concerning publishing and Open Access. Th

Less noise for more efficient brain work
We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment. Memory researchers and cognitive scientists have conducted a lot of research into how the sound environment aff

Botanical garden temporarily flourishing
The presence of the glorious tulips, which have captivated so many of the visitors to the garden and spread to the Instagram accounts of the residents of Lund, is in no way guaranteed.

Climate change makes carbon sinks more vulnerable
New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

How self-reactive immune cells are allowed to develop
Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the body’s own substances, and it is unclear why the immune system allows for the devel
