This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “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 Göranss

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The next EU framework programme focuses on “missions” rather than the previous “societal challenges”. This in itself will be a challenge for a university focused on basic research such as LU and will require new working methods among funding bodies and researchers applying for grants, according to research liaison off

Lund University Diabetes Centre’s Scientific Advisory Board give researchers valuable feedback on ongoing research. Frances Ashcroft and Flemming Pociot from the board were invited to the LUDC retreat in the city of Helsingborg recently and they were impressed by the range of the research being performed at the centre. Research within type 1 diabetes specifically caught their attention. Frances As

In a newly published study in Nature Communications, Emma Hammarlund and her research team at Lund University detail how daily fluctuations in oxygen levels influenced the rise of animal life. Their findings offer new insights as to how dramatic daily shifts in oxygen availability and stress may have played a central role in the evolution of complex organisms on Earth. “Now, when we explore animal

In order to achieve the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement, massive cuts in carbon emissions are needed. For the EU, this requires a reduction of household carbon footprints from 2015 of almost 70% by 2030 and over 90% by 2050. Too often, climate policies are not placed within a broader social context and policy makers neglect to see that welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 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 bo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A large proportion of our elite athletes are suffering psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more women than men reporting adverse reactions.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a collaborative study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center and University College London have developed a novel method of isolating ‘young’ stem cells still present in old mice. They show that activity of mitochondria, the power generators of the cell, is a stronger indicator of stem cell fitness than age and is

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

At work, Julia Weber’s focus is on insects and other pollinators, and their survival. At home, it is her cat Hera who has grabbed attention. When Postnord announced a competition to find cats to grace their new stamps, Julia Weber did as over 18,000 other cat owners and sent in a photo along with a short description of her feline friend. The jury could not resist the adventurous Hera, who was one

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work. It speaks to what is most important to the University right now and will help it to act much faster as the world changes. Pandemic, war in Europe, fake news, increased polarisation at home and abroad and,
