With each day that passes, I become more impressed by this organisation. In the early spring, we came out of the pandemic (well, not completely, but there was at least a loosening of restrictions that were paralysing society) to be met by a new uncertainty, which since then has unsettled us and caused anxiety – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Just as when the pandemic struck, Lund University showed
