Workhorse Philip Warkander became Sweden’s first PhD graduate in Fashion Studies. He describes research in a new subject as continuously doubting – an approach he also applies to the academic community’s focus on hard work. Moving around as a researcher, he noticed one day that he had fallen into the classic man-trap – friends and interests beyond work had been lost. When LUM meets fashion studies

Giving up research has never been an option for Ronald Kröger, professor in biology with a specialisation in fish lenses and dog noses. “I conduct research with all of my heart!” He is, however, at least as dependent on his brain – and it has really suffered. It is nearly five years since the Saturday morning when Ronald Kröger woke up and thought he was getting a cold or flu. It did not stop him
