The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg Photo: Kennet Ruona. The human population is growing, while our ecological footprint needs to become much lower in order to redu

That is the vision proposed by project manager Louise Pierce, who is responsible for repurposing the now almost empty building in Lundagård park. In only three years, it is to be buzzing with activity in the form of students, employees and visitors.

A new study suggests that the vitamin improves the insulin producing β-cell´s function. The researchers initially discovered that insulin-producing beta-cells contain a large quantity of a cell surface receptor for vitamin A.“There are no unneces

Since 24 February, nothing has been the same for Ukrainian researchers. In this urgent situation, we have been able to offer one of them a Ph.D. position. We welcome our new colleague, Nadia Kravchenko, who is eager to share her thoughts about how we may all contribute to this period to be as constructive as possible, despite the threatening circumstances. It is impossible not to be touched by the

Researchers at Lund University Faculty of Medicine have determined a novel mechanism linking the metabolism of ribonucleic acids, RNA, to the development of leukemia in myelodysplastic syndrome patients, MDS. In a study published in the Molecular Cell journal, they explain what makes hematopoietic stem cells acquire malignant traits in cancer. RNA splicing is a major nexus of gene expression regul

Over the coming years, the Faculty of Science’s four subject libraries will be brought together under one roof. The libraries for geology, biology, physics and astronomy, and chemistry will leave their current premises and move into a shared home in the Astronomy Building, where a study centre is also planned.The relocation of the libraries is the result of several changes: an extensive densificat

Why are so few men working in occupations such as nursing, childcare, or elder care? A new study examines whether persistent cultural gender norms discourage men from entering traditionally female-dominated occupations. Over the last decades, women have increasingly entered traditionally male-dominated professions such as medicine and law. However, the reverse has not happened: men remain heavily

The men’s World Cup has kicked off, bringing together millions of fans and supporters around the world. Countries compete against one another to win the ultimate prize, but the sport itself is shared by the global community, albeit one shaped by today’s geopolitical reality. With a summer of football like this, I can’t help but draw parallels with academia, and in particular with basic research. A

Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

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
