Exercising too much and not getting enough rest is bad for your health. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the same is true for migratory birds. They need to rest not only to renew their energy levels but also in order to boost their immune system. After a period of physical exertion, vertebrates, including humans, usually need a period of recovery. Apart from the obvious – lowe

As a PhD student in the MaCoBios project, Fabiola Espinoza Córdova aims to explore how we can reframe adaptation to climate change in coastal communities towards more sustainable and just pathways. She believes that impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems linked to climate change are not only driven by global warming and human pressures, but are directly embedded in social changes.

Why do people slack off at work? Last year it was revealed that 20 workers at a big Swedish mining company had been slacking off at work by taking turns clocking each other in and out. The scheme had been going on for several years - supposedly costing the company millions of dollars. How is such major slacking possible?

När vi tänker på dinosaurier föreställer vi oss ofta majestätiska jättar som härskade över jorden för miljontals år sedan. Men även dessa urtida giganter var inte immuna mot sjukdomar som vi människor känner till idag, som t ex artros. Artros är relativt sällsynt hos dagens vilda däggdjur (mindre än 1%) men är inte ovanligt hos hus- eller bruksdjur så som hundar och hästar, men också hos fåglar, m
