David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water.

Livsmedelsforskare i Lund har upptäckt att det är hälsosamt att få i sig små mängder krom och vissa aminosyror före maten. Varför? Jo, denna blandning utspädd i vatten dämpar rejält den blodsockerstegring som uppstår när man äter. Nu hoppas de att drycken – som smakar som vanligt mineralvatten - ska kunna konkurrera med läskedrycker och smaksatt bordsvatten. Vi bör alla undvika att blodsockret åke
