Data gathering for European climate research goes on around the clock at the University’s Hyltemossa research station. The tallest of its two masts reaches as high as 150 metres straight up into the sky. Every other week, the station’s staff must climb to the top of the mast to clean two sensors. Recently, intensive work has been conducted on the lower mast to install equipment to study how the em

A great deal of moral courage or a really desperate situation – these are the requirements for someone to disclose state secrets. And life will most certainly never be the same again. This is what emerges from the experiences of the Cold War’s first major defectors, Mr and Mrs Petrov, as from those of Edward Snowden, who will perhaps never be able to return to his homeland without risking severe p

Farshid Jalalvand has a PhD in infection biology and vaccine development, and he has appeared frequently in the media during the debate on the Covid-19 vaccine. “When you work, as I do, with vaccines and you understand how they work, it feels important to try to explain it so that people can take decisions based on solid evidence”, he says. A lot of the criticism against vaccines occurs on social

For many years there has been an on-going discussion about how academic freedom is being challenged in many parts of the world, including Sweden. And when even some of the strongest academic bastions in the world such as Harvard are now fighting for their independence against the American federal administration’s political directives, it is clear that academia has not been crying wolf. Academic fr

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an

Metformin is the first-line drug that can lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients. One third of patients do not respond to metformin treatment and 5 per cent experience serious side effects, which is the reason many choose to stop medicating. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now identified biomarkers that can show in advance how the patient will respond to metformin treat

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot
