Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. “We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority

For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals. This has led to the growth of a grey area with unprofessional journals that take payment from researchers who want their work to appear. Kristoffer Holmqvist recommends the information on the Univers
