The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

Pesticide use in is an urgent concern for human health and the environment. New studies on pesticide practices in Ugandan smallholder agriculture highlight the need to focus on drivers and impacts of unsafe pesticide use instead of putting blame on farmers. Two recent research articles by LUCSUS researchers Elina Andersson and Ellinor Isgren show that while there is still a widespread notion that

Sexual harassment, mental health issues, racism and non-European doctoral students engaged in uphill struggles with the Swedish Migration Agency to be allowed to remain in Sweden. These are examples of the sorts of things that Haro de Grauw has been faced with since becoming doctoral student ombudsman in Lund almost two years ago. Most often, however, it is another factor that makes doctoral stude

Om inte Sverige och EU stärker sitt digitala oberoende finns risk för katastrofala konsekvenser. Det menar forskaren i datavetenskap Johan Linåker som anser att vi måste börja tänka på kontroll och underhåll av digital infrastruktur på samma sätt vi idag gör för kritisk fysisk infrastruktur som hamnar, flygplatser, vägar, vatten-och elnät.

Hur vi känner inför naturen påverkar vilka trädgårdsinsatser vi väljer och hur mycket de faktiskt hjälper pollinatörer. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet blir sambandet extra tydligt mot bakgrund av samhällets omfattande urbanisering, där både gröna ytor och människors praktiska naturkontakt minskar. Forskarna visar också att trädgårdar blir mest värdefulla när långlivade planteringar priorite

Många hävdar att vi människor gärna förmänskligar djurs beteenden. Men hur är det egentligen med skrattet – är det något unikt för människan? Kognitionsforskaren Peter Gärdenfors förklarar varför vi ofta missar när papegojan brister ut i skratt och varför slapstick är en skämtform som både människor och djur uppskattar. – Aristoteles menade att det bara var människan som skrattar, men han hade fel

Från dissad artikel till världsledande alzheimerforskning. Kaj Blennow har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka Alzheimers sjukdom upp till 20 år innan symtomen visar sig, vilket inte bara förändrat forskningen – utan också lagt grunden för nya terapier. Nu belönas han med Eric K. Fernströms Nordiska pris för sin banbrytande forskning. Professor Kaj Blennow sätter sig gärna i sadeln för ett dressyrpass.
