Laura Elo at University of Turku is awarded the Leif C. Groop Award for outstanding research on type 1 diabetes. The mathematician from Finland has developed methods which have helped increase the understanding of how type 1 diabetes develops at molecular level. She hopes her research will help prevent and delay the progression of the disease and individualise the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Jus

“Toke is shy but does the most exploring of all of them, while Siggi is relaxed and friendly. But you have to know them to be able to work with them”, says cognitive scientist Stephan Reber. He is not talking about his colleagues but the alligators now on site in Ystad zoo, where the researchers have a specially adapted facility to study the animals’ behaviour.

The Covid-19 pandemic barely had time to subside before the next upheaval occurred. The war in Ukraine also impacts us as a University. We have set up an organisation to manage Ukraine-related issues at Lund University. Over the past two years, a lot of my time has been spent dealing with various crises in the world around us that affect us in one way or another. First came the Covid-19 pandemic,

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

Altruism – to give unselfishly so that society will function by sharing your blood is a linchpin of healthcare. At least that is the case in Sweden. In many other countries, voluntary, unpaid blood donations are not the norm. World Blood Donor Day focuses on the important role of blood d

Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light. For example, one application could be converting carbon dioxide into fuel. The sunlight that hits Earth for one hour is almost equiva

New research from Lund University in Sweden shows for the first time how bacteria in the airways can help each other replenish vital iron. The bacteria thereby increase their chances of survival, which can happen at the expense of the person’s health. The bac

Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling. By destroying them, the Trump administration is paving the way for a very different kind of society.  “We need to understand the breadth and depth of this offensive,” says Johan Östling.Could you put Trump’s actions against universities in the U

The energy sector is one of the sectors that need to undergo both rapid and far-reaching transformation to limit the effects of climate change. What is the significance of basic research, which investigates new theories and new approaches, in driving development?

Market economics, not degrowth, will enable sustainable societies. For economist Fredrik N G Andersson the answer is crystal clear – researchers advocating for degrowth are wrong. “They miss the mark by attacking growth instead of the actual problem,” he says. The subject of degrowth awakes a lot of interest. Its critics are as vocal as its proponents. Fredrik N G Andersson, assistant professor at
