A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

Very few support climate change, pollution and the general destruction of our planet, but why then is it so hard to make a truly sustainable future desirable? Researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jon Bertilsson have looked into this from a marketing perspective and point to some instances where their field could make a difference.“Marketing in the service of companies has done a tremendous job of creat

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S

The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation. Measurements taken by researchers at Lund University in Sweden of airborne virus in hospitals provide new knowledge about how best to adapt healthcare to reduce the risk of spread of infection. Researchers hope current international guidelines in he

James Surmeier, professor at Northwestern University, recently visited Lund University where he gave the 2018 Segerfalk Lecture.

For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky. Instead, they are forced to use streetlamps, neon light or floodlights to orient themselves. The findings are published in Current Biology. Some animals, including migratory birds, seals and moths, use light from the moon, stars and Milky Wa
