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,

On the first day of the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, a formal decision was taken to establish a loss and damage fund to support developing countries to deal with loss and damage from climate change. A pragmatic success for climate justice, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd, who now hopes that Sweden will follow suit with promises of financial support. Emily Boyd, director and p

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Linguist Niclas Burenhult has been awarded close to SEK 14 million by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond for his field project Language as key to perceptual diversity: an interdisciplinary approach to the senses. “We like to believe that everyone perceives the world in the same way. But studying small and lesser-known language

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Cardiovascular and lung disease increase the risk of complications in COVID-19. Therefore, the Heart-Lung Foundation has granted SEK 3.1 million for five research projects at Lund University that will contribute to more knowledge about the effects of COVID-19. One of the researchers, Jonas Erjefält, professor in Medic

Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc

Patients born with heart defects experience their first acute heart attack at a significantly earlier age than others. This is shown by a new national study from Lund University in Sweden. However, despite this earlier onset of illness, there is no difference in survival rates or the risk of further heart attacks between those with congenital heart defects and others. The study includes 214 patien

With over 15 research groups dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease research, MultiPark’s goal is to understand the origins of the disease, develop early diagnostics, and improve treatments. The multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the disease from several angles, bridging basic research with clinical investigations. Here are five projects. September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Globally, around 40

Martino Avallone spent the past four years developing tools for mapping gene expression and proteins in the brain to investigate basic biological questions and to elucidate the molecular mysteries contributing to Parkinson’s disease. On 29 September, he defends his thesis work done in the Molecular Neuromodulation research group. Here, he explains the impact these tools will hopefully have in scie

Hur mäter man hur produkter och råvaror som utvinns på vitt skilda platser runt om i världen påverkar den biologiska mångfalden? Forskaren Carla Coelho från Miljö-och geovetenskapliga institutionen (MGeo) har tillsammans med sina kollegor utvecklat en ny metod för att uppskatta gruvors och stenbrotts påverkan – och i vilken utsträckning de faktiskt skadar livsmiljöerna i omgivningen.

Både svensk och internationell lag står bakom kvinnors rätt att amma på offentlig plats. Ändå beskriver kvinnor hur de får ta emot påhopp och dömande blickar när de ammar utanför hemmet. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att samhället måste ge tydligare och uttalat stöd för offentlig amning - och välkomna amning oavsett plats. – Kvinnorna och barnen saknar tillgång till det offentliga rumm

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en internationell studie identifierat en genvariant som styr kroppens förmåga att bilda nya blodkärl i musklerna – en mekanism som påverkar både fysisk prestation, hälsa och återhämtning. Den gynnsamma genvarianten är betydligt vanligare hos elitidrottare i uthållighetsidrotter, jämfört både med elitutövare i explosiva sporter och icke-idrottare. Studien i kort

Plantering av syntetiskt DNA, biometrisk utpressning av makthavare och genetisk hybridkrigföring. Det är några av de nya risker som har uppstått genom de forskningsframsteg som gjorts inom genetisk teknologi och kan utnyttjas i modern krigföring. Forskare vid Lunds universitet menar att vi behöver identifiera vilka de mest kritiska riskerna är och diskutera hur dessa kan förebyggas. Det internatio
