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

For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals. This has led to the growth of a grey area with unprofessional journals that take payment from researchers who want their work to appear. Kristoffer Holmqvist recommends the information on the Univers

Synchrotron radiation helps vision researcher Emily Baird create three-dimensional images of how insects see the world. In the future, this could lead to sighted drones that navigate through the air like insects, without being remote controlled from the ground. “I enjoy research more than anything, and the most fun part is that I am forced to be creative and make constant progress, says Emily Bair

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom.
