This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. RQ20, the new major research quality evaluation, is underway! It is based on self-evaluations and will involve around 5 000 members of staff. In contrast to the last time, in 2008, there is no extra money for the fields of research that come out best. There will be no grades or gold stars. “However, the evaluation wil

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities.  Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu

If you look carefully at Niclas Nilsson’s hands and arms, you can still see the scars from all the injections he has received through the years for his haemophilia, although they have faded considerably since January 2020. That was when he got his last injection. Indeed, since his treatment with gene therapy, Niclas has not needed a single injection. Niclas Nilsson comes from a family of haemophil

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 flyttade en del av den politiska diskussionen till TikTok. Att vi diskuterar svensk politik på en Kinaägd plattform där snabba klipp som tangerar primära känslor premieras av algoritmerna har förfärat många.

Riksbanken rekordhöjer räntan – energipriserna skjuter i höjden. Hur påverkar bistrare ekonomiska tider hur vi klär oss? Historiskt sett har recession inte inneburit att vi slutat klä oss elegant. Däremot har vi återanvänt kostsamma festkläder och istället köpt enskilda lyxprodukter. Och kortare kjolar i tider av lågkonjunktur är en myt. – I knappa tider tenderar vi att konsumera det som inte gräv

Varje år drabbas flera tusen personer i Sverige av så kallad ischemisk stroke. Tillståndet är livshotande, svårbehandlat och kan ge allvarliga funktionsnedsättningar. I ett stort pilotprojekt i Lund testar forskare att med hjälp av AI identifiera vilka som riskerar att drabbas och hur man kan skräddarsy såväl akutvård som rehabilitering efter patienternas individuella behov. – Förhoppningen är att

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde
