Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Statistiken visar att andelen kvinnliga professorer vid LU knappt kommer upp till en fjärdedel. Ser man till fakulteterna har Juridicum dock lyckats – hälften av professorerna där är kvinnor. Ekonomerna intar jumboplatsen med endast tio procent kvinnliga professorer. – Det är inte alls bra – men inte riktigt lika il

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally
