The proposal from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) would see agricultural subsidies phased out for the activities that cause the most damage to the climate, whilst increasing carbon sequestration and introducing specified pricing for emissions. Five researchers from Lund University in Sweden share their views on whether the EU’s agri-food system can cope with the t

Oksana Tymoshchuk, professor from Ukraine, came to Sweden in April 2022 when a full-scale war broke out in her country. A grant from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation brought Oksana and Iben Lundgaard together and today Oksana is working in the Lundgaard lab trying to find out more about the mysterious glymphatic system. We are all well aware of the situation in Ukraine. Prof Oksana Tymoshc

In March this year, LINXS received a new organisational placement within the Faculty of Science. Rather than being part of the Department of Chemistry, LINXS is now established as a separate unit reporting directly to the Dean. The decision follows a strategic review and an external evaluation of the organisation conducted last year, both of which yielded very positive results.Established in 2017,

Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets. WASP-189b is a planet outside our own solar system, with a dayside temperature of 3,200 degrees C
