With the kick-off at the start of October, the 23/24 WCMM Research School has officially begun. As this year marks the fifth anniversary of the WCMM Research School, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past and present, and to check in with some current and past attendees to hear their thoughts on the school. Since a month has already passed and activities are in full swing, we started of

82 years after his death, limnology superstar and the first professor in this field in Lund and the world, Einar Naumann, may have helped solve the riddle of why lakes become brown. With the help of Naumann’s and his students’ work dating back to the 1930s, senior lecturer Emma Kritzberg has created a data series that fill a gap of 50 years. Emma Kritzberg In Sweden and many other countries in the

A picture says more than a thousand words. LUCSUS postdoctoral researcher, Emma Johansson, uses art as a research method to create impacts beyond academia among farmers, pastoralists, organisations and policy makers in Tanzania and Sweden. An artist herself, physical geographer, Emma Johansson, has used paintings in her research for more than seven years; since she first visited Tanzania for her P

In the past, it has been common practice to perform analyses of archaeological sites after excavations have been completed and covered again with soil. But with the revolutionary development of digital technologies, we can now identify archaeological information that was previously invisible to the naked eye. “As I dig, I am also destroying. Archaeologists must document it before. But with 3D docu

In a historic decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has voted down the agricultural lobby's attempt to limit Indigenous People's land rights. Sustainability researcher Torsten Krause is cautiously optimistic about the decision, which he believes is positive for both human rights and biodiversity, but fears that it could lead to increased deforestation and mining in Brazil's neighboring countries. – It

– The SDG:s can help us as a sustainability centre to reflect around impact and how we are contributing to the goals. Where does our research sit in this context, and how can we make it more relevant to stakeholders and communities?, says Emily Boyd. This is important she notes, because today the SDG.s are becoming increasingly recognized worldwide – and many sectors have begun to work strategical

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

Collaborations between the public sector and academia are increasingly common, and are often highlighted as the way forward for strategic climate planning. But how are practitioners and academics to work together to achieve results? Researchers at LUCSUS are investigating how a model can benefit transdisciplinary sustainability projects. – Nowadays, many universities and municipalities want to wo
Climate networks aim to strengthen municipalities’ efforts to combat climate change. But membership benefits need to be much clearer communicated in order to utilise the networks’ full potential; and should highlight the importance of network membership to drive local climate politics forward, argues researcher Henner Busch. Today, there exist a number of different transnational climate networks.

Petra Holmberg won the Researchers’ Grand Prix heat in Helsingborg on 7 October. She presented her research – on the risks involved when 80 per cent of Gen Z use chatbots to manage stress or anxiety – to an audience of over 500 upper secondary school pupils. In her presentation she talked to an animated chatbot to illustrate how AI can give destructive advice to young people who already feel unwel

This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt and Arne Lundberg Research Foundation goes to WCMM Fellow Vinay Swaminathan at Lund University, who has been awarded SEK 5 million for a project that aims to uncover how healthy breast tissue develops into tumours and spreads. Swaminathan’s research group studies the early stages of cancer development using advanced 3D tissue models that mimic the tumou
Researchers from Lund University interested in understanding how aging affects the brain have made a new discovery that will help make it easier to study age-related brain diseases and potential treatments in the future.

Forskare från eChildHealth, Mia Hylén och Pernilla Stenström har presenterat en studie vid Kirurgveckan i Örebro den 21-25 augusti. I studien har de tillsammans med forskarkollegor undersökt hur en e-hälsoapp i en e-platta kan underlätta kommunikationen mellan vårdpersonal och familj när barn med långvarig sjukdom lämnar sjukhuset. Studien visade att föräldrar som erhållit stöd från en e-platta, e
