När sociologen Alison Gerber fick 1,5 miljoner euro från EU skulle hon för första gången sätta ihop och leda en egen forskargrupp. Att gå in i rollen som forskargruppsledare har varit kul, men också en utmaning. För fyra år sedan fick Alison Gerber, docent i sociologi, det prestige­fulla ERC Starting Grant på 1,5 miljoner euro för projektet ”Show and tell”. Hon ville undersöka hur vi ser på nya ty

Nicholas Leigh kom från USA till Sverige och Lund för fyra år sedan. I sin forskning fokuserar han på salamandrar och hur de kan återskapa allt från ben, svansar och till och med delar av hjärtat.

När forskarna från LTH passerar gränsen till landet Bhutan är lugnet och stillheten det första som slår dem. Men det är inte bara naturens ro som lockar, de är här för att fördjupa samarbetet mellan svensk ingenjörskunskap och bhutanesisk hållbarhetsfilosofi – ett internationellt utbyte som pågått i tio år.
