At the end of last autumn, I travelled to Chicago, partly to visit my son, who is an exchange student at Illinois Institute of Technology, and partly to visit the University of Chicago to explore potential collaborations. The timing

Obesity is a common cause of diabetes, heart disease and early death, but risk differs greatly from one person to the next. In work led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden as part of the Innovative Medicine Initiative project SOPHIA, a pioneering clinical risk prediction algorithm has been developed that splits obesity into 5 separate diagnostic profiles each with contrasting health conseq

Have you noticed that when scientists are asked whether or not a particular extreme weather event is due to climate change, they usually respond with something like "It fits the pattern, but we can't say for sure that this particular event is worse because of climate change"? Weather attribution is a new phenomenon that is changing this. Climate scientist Wilhelm May at Lund University helps us ge

Studiefusket ökade med uppåt 200% under covid-åren. I spår av detta har Lunds universitet startat ett projekt för att förebygga vilseledande vid examination (eller fusk som vilseledande kallas till vardags), oavsett om det är otillåtet samarbete, plagiering eller otillåtna hjälpmedel. I varje studerandemiljö finns en unik kultur med gränser för vad som anses acceptabelt och vad som anses oacceptab

Vi måste prioritera naturen även om det finns andra motstridiga intressen – den biologiska mångfalden är viktig för alla på planeten och avgörande för människors hälsa och välfärd. Det säger Maria Blasi Romero, forskare i biodiversitet och bevarandevetenskap vid Lunds universitet. – Jag åkte till COP15 för att lära mig mer om processerna och hur jag kan dela med mig av min forskning till de som ka

När Vetenskapsrådet för snart tre år sedan utlyste bidrag till så kallade excellenscenter beviljades totalt 15 nya satsningar runt om i Sverige. Endast ett av dem hamnade i Lund: "COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions".Nu har ett år gått sedan COMMONS invigdes med pompa och ståt ute vid kemiska institutionen. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Hur har centret tagit sig an uppd
