An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett’s research focuses on reconstructing Viking sailing routes and cartography. To do so, he learnt to sail boats similar to those sailed by the Vikings and set off out to sea. He likens the sailors of that time to today’s extreme athletes. “I started a fairly theoretical doctoral thesis on reconstructing Viking sailing routes, but I wanted practical experience from a sailo
