New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University. Since ChatGPT was introduced to great fanfare in 2022, the debate a

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Henock Yitbarek Zerezgi, Parrendah Adwoa Kpeli and Emilia Ravn Boess recently completed our course "Governance and the Sustainable Development Goals". We asked them what they thought of the course and how it will help them in their own research. In March, the second course held by the Development Research School was finalised.

Hunting in Sweden has a long history and could be considered a cultural heritage. Wildlife management and a sense of local community and stewardship are important keywords to describe recreational hunting. However, in recent years there has been an emerging market for commercial hunting, where hunters can buy the right to hunt on someone else’s land, where hospitality services and guiding are ofte

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country.

Missiologist Mika Vähäkangas thinks that Scandinavians can be a little self-righteous. He says that he has become who he is in great part thanks to his research in Africa – there he learnt what he knows about compassion.  Over nearly thirty years, he first carried out missionary work and then research, teaching and fieldwork in Africa on African Christianity.    "It has always been Africa.

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

AI, artificial intelligence, is trendy. But where does the boundary go between humankind and machine and what should we use AI for? “It’s time to ask ourselves what humankind possesses that machines do not. How can they complement each other, rather than compete?” asks philosopher Jonna Bornemark. Will your future colleagues have human intelligence – or perhaps artificial? It may sound like a stra
