Diabetes is a disease that is increasing exponentially worldwide, largely as a result of the food we eat and because we exercise too little. Diabetes causes great personal suffering and shortens lifespan, as well as placing a heavy economic burden on society as whole and our health care systems in particular. This summer, Paul Franks, a professor at Lund University Diabetes Centre, will be doing a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered thirteen new species of extinct brittle stars on the island of Gotland, Sweden. The fossils were dug out of rocks from the Silurian Period (around 444 to 419 million years ago). The species have now been named after several famous hard rock musicians and bands. Ophiuroids are a group of echinoderms closely related to starfish. Their bodies c

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

Professor Emily Boyd has been researching loss and damage from climate change for more than 10 years. To her, the news that Venezuela’s last glacier, the Humboldt glacier, is being reclassified as an ice field, is extremely worrying. The speed of change is crazy. When something so visible is lost, it also brings home the scale of global climate change, says Emily Boyd, professor at Lund University
