This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The earth is both inundated and drying up. Water supply is a complex phenomenon that has probably never been more complicated – or more important – than now. Kenneth M. Persson is a professor of water resources engineering and he took the initiative for Lund University’s Water Portal, which involves over 200 (!) water

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

Donald Trump’s trade wars have dominated the news cycle for quite some time. According to economist Fredrik NG Andersson, we risk becoming blind if we only focus on the short term. What is happening is not just about immediate effects but about the dawn of a new global order and the end of the world order that emerged in the 1990s after the Cold War. "The trade wars have clearly affected the globa

Linnéa Jönsson and Patrik Nilsson were two of the PhD students who seized the opportunity to have a research visit financed by NanoLund last year. This is a support that NanoLundians – PhD students as well as senior scientists – can apply for at any time. “Do it! You have to take the opportunity to do something like this if you get the chance,” says Linnéa Jönsson. As a researcher at NanoLund, you

LUND SPRING SYMPOSIUM – När Katherine A. High började arbeta med genterapi var fältet nytt, lovande – och fyllt av osäkerhet. Hennes forskning har lett till behandlingar som förändrat livet för patienter med ärftliga sjukdomar. Men vägen dit var allt annat än enkel. När Katherine A. High klev in i genterapins värld var konceptet mer teoretiskt än praktiskt. Hon minns de tidigaste försöken i fältet

I en ny studie publicerad i iScience konstaterar forskare vid Lunds universitet att tornseglare håller högre hastighet, det vill säga flyger längre per dag, än någon annan flyttfågel. Fåglar som flyttar från övervintringsområdena i södra Afrika till häckningsplatserna i Sverige tar ungefär två månader på sig att tillryggalägga sträckan inräknat raster för att vila och äta. Tills nu har forskare up
