Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to understand how they see the world, what problems they have identified and want a

“Superbosses” are exceptional at attracting talented people and getting them to perform at their best – while also developing them to become new, good leaders. Are superbosses to be found at the University? “I’m convinced that we would also find superbosses at Lund University if we looked”, says Christine Blomquist, who adds that there are many good leaders here.

Researchers have identified an antioxidant – richly occurring in broccoli – as a new antidiabetic substance. A patient study shows significantly lower blood sugar levels in participants who ate broccoli extract with high levels of sulforaphane. “There are strong indications that this can become a valuable supplement to existing medication,” says Anders Rosengren, Docent in Metabolic Physiology at

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

We all know that when it burns, it smokes. But what do we really know about the contents of that smoke and how it is affected by different fire processes? Not only that, but how do these smoke particles affect the emergency personnel who are first on the scene?

I nästa vecka håller FN ett toppmöte om Agenda 2030. Tidigare studier har visat att arbetet mot agendans 17 hållbarhetsmål går dåligt. Därför föreslår en grupp forskare fyra reformer för att vända utvecklingen. Reformerna publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Science. År 2015 antog FN:s medlemsstater Agenda 2030 med 17 mål för en hållbar global utveckling. Målen ska uppnåtts, eller vara på go
