In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body’s capability to form new blood vessels in muscles – a mechanism that affects physical performance, health and recovery. The favourable gene variant is considerably more common among top athletes in endurance sports, compared with both top athletes in explosive sports and non-at

NanoLundian Kimberly Dick is, for more than a decade, a Wallenberg Academy Fellow, and studies the building of new materials by working on an atom-scale. As put in the film: If an atom were the size of a Lego piece, lying in a hand, the hand would be the size of planet Earth. “Big discoveries are made when we realize something fundamental and yet surprising about nature”, she says.

Most researchers want to do things correctly and much of the time this is straightforward: you do not need instructions in order to understand that you are to write your own text and not plagiarise others. But not all rules and processes are as obvious and some change over time. In interviews with researchers connected to the HR Excellence in Research project, it emerged that many struggle to alwa
