Is the stuffed bird Olof full of arsenic? New measuring device gives us answers
Olof the bird – a stuffed bird of prey with a stern expression – currently stands in the heart of The Science Student Union (LUNA), keeping watch over students’ discussions and union activities. But few are eager to get too close. A sign next to him warns that his plumage contains arsenic. The warning has become a talking point – is Olof really so toxic that he should be placed behind protective

In the wake of the pandemic: new methods of cancer care
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to eva

How can the EU fix global trade?
The single market of the EU is often hailed as the number one success story of European integration, and it is one of the reasons why the EU is seen as a law-making machine. Single market laws are partly focused on competition law, which sets out to ban state aid and other interventionist practices in order to create a level playing field among the EU’s businesses. But when these businesses enter

Lund´s Fernström prize goes to research on genes
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Marju Orho-Melander, professor of genetic epidemiology in Malmö, has been awarded Lund University’s Fernström prize. Her research is about genetic variants that are associated with blood lipids and lipoproteins and can therefore increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Many genes exist in different variants.

Sustainable construction: How fungi research at Lund University could revolutionise infrastructure repair
Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative solution: using fungi to mend concrete. This groundbreaking research got off the ground with a Sustainable Idea Exploration grant and support
