Narrative medicine provides tools for clinicians to read patients better. 2022 Sandblom Prize Lecture will be given by pioneering Professor Rita Charon of Columbia University on the discipline that uses the arts to improve understanding. Clinicians trained in narrative medicine are more able to listen for what their patients tell them, to see from others’ perspectives – including patients and fami

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Research published in the research journal Diabetologia needs to meet a high standard of quality. Most of the manuscripts submitted are rejected. At the start of 2021, Hindrik Mulder, MD and professor at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC), will take over as editor-in-chief of the journal. After just over 10 years

The news last week that Lund University has five profile areas has generated a lot of interest. Since the information at this stage has been rather limited, I will answer the three most common questions here. More information will be published about the profile areas after the summer holidays. Question 1: What will the profile areas do? All five profile areas are based on excellent research, with

Hatred towards political opponents can be more polarizing than policy differences – and populism is shaping the erosion of support for Ukraine in the war against Russia. Professor Jonathan Polk and Dr. Alexander Ryan delivered a lecture in December on what divides voters and parties in Europe. What is affective polarization, and why does it matter?

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

Is it possible to put a value on nature and the vital ecosystem services it provides for us? What are the pros and cons of different valuation models? These are the key questions addressed in a new report by IPBES, the UN’s biodiversity panel, to be published on 11 July. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) can be described as the equivalent

For over 60 years, scientists have tried to determine whether plants are pollinated primarily during the day or at night — without reaching a clear conclusion. Now, a major research review from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that nighttime pollinators play just as significant a role as daytime species in 90 percent of the cases studied. Most of us know how important bees, birds, and butter

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas
