Jag är väldigt laddad för detta, säger Cecilia Lindgren. Rollen som chef på Big Data Institute (BDI) beskriver hon som ett nytt kapitel men med något som hon är starkt rotad i. Ända sedan hon doktorerade v

The ostrich is genetically wired to adapt to rising or falling temperatures. However, when the temperature fluctuates more often, as it does with climate change, the flightless bird with a 40-gram brain finds it much more difficult. A research team at Lund University has shown that the ostrich is very sensitive to fluctuating temperatures in terms of whether it reproduces. If the temperature rises

Technology adoption for active and healthy ageing, through a generational lens (half-time review Jens Offerman). Technology plays and will play an important role in promoting active and healthy ageing for current and future generations of older adults. However, very few studies highlight the specific knowledge needed to use different kinds of technologies and there is a lack of research addressing

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Since 2012, the EU project Sandlife has worked to restore open sandy habitats in southern Sweden. Overgrown environmentally-protected areas, known as Natura 2000 areas, on sandy land in Skåne, Halland and Öland, have been opened up to become more accessible to both the public and rare plants and animals. The first res

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem. Whether carelessly discarded

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For decades, researchers have thought that access to food determined the brood size of birds. Now, biologists at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a completely new explanation: the body temperature of small birds can increase by more than 4°C to exceed 45°C when they are feeding their young. Larger broods woul

Several Nobel laureates, renowned scientists, and successful biotech entrepreneurs are coming to Lund in May to participate in the Lund Spring Symposium, an international symposium on drug research. Medications are the physician's primary tool when treating their patients, and understanding how drugs work is fundamental to being a good doctor, according to Lars Grundemar, adjunct professor of clin

SWEAH's research administrator, Stina Elfverson, is taking a six-month leave of absence from October 1, 2024. She is going out and seeing the world. What are you going to do?– I will work as a tour guide, which has long been my "jobby" alongside work at the university. In the past I have traveled a lot in Asia and Europe, but now I am focusing on Africa and will visit Egypt, Madagascar and Namibia

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has shown no correlation between obesity and how close you live to fast food restaurants or gyms. Studies from other countries have previously indicated that these factors may be important in adult obesity. The areas where we live are known to be important for our health. For example, obesity is more prevalent in deprived neighbourhoods. Deprived neighbou

Merparten av de politiska partierna har för stort fokus, och en övertro, på tekniska lösningar, snarare än att förändra de beteenden och system som orsakar klimatkrisen. Med MP och V som undantag. Det visar en ny rapport framtagen av forskare som har analyserat riksdagspartiernas klimatpolitik inför valet 2022. Rapporten baseras på enkätsvar om respektive partis klimatpolitik.
