Why did you apply to Jobbsprånget?– As a small lab we have a lot of big ideas with hardly any free time to pursue them, especially with patients sample collection taking up half our week.

Recurrent threats via telephone, email and letter – often in conjunction with being published. That is part of everyday research for gender researcher Diana Mulinari and many of her colleagues. “It is almost systematic. Those who hate and make threats are aggressively sexist and racist. Their hate ideology is based on who I am – a woman with a foreign background.” Diana Mulinari, is a Doctor of S

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a
