This is the opinion of the newly inaugurated vice-chancellor Erik Renström, who sees the value in academic traditions. In his management team, however, new winds are blowing, bringing with them the values of “integrity” and “character” and a pro vice-chancellor who is specially tasked with working on these aspe

There are delicious smells emanating from the kitchen at the Malmö apartment of nutrition physiologist, Louise Brunkwall. Today, she is making pasta and vegetable sauce for lunch. A clean up before the interview with LUM means she can no longer find anything in the kitchen cupboards: “Usually there is always some kind of organised chaos here!” Louise Brunkwall knew from an early age that she want

The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are appointed and the 156 research environments are organised. In January, the self-

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. My pare

Veterinarian in charge Anders Forslid is retiring after 30 years working to improve the welfare of research animals at Lund University. He has witnessed a paradigm shift in animal health and animal experiments, and the way animal testing and humans’ obligations are viewed has changed.

Bete är en nyckelåtgärd för att bevara naturbetesmarker, några av Sveriges viktigaste livsmiljöer ur natur- och kulturvårdssynpunkt. Det är dock en utmaning att hitta rätt nivå på betet vilket leder till att många värdefulla marker betas för hårt, medan andra marker växer igen. För att diskutera utmaningar med ett högt betestryck, och öppna dörren till möjliga lösningar, bjöd LU Land in till ett f

En uppföljningsstudie av unga svenska män som dömts till fängelse för vålds- eller sexbrott, målar en tydlig bild: de flesta återfaller i brott gång på gång – i snitt över 30 brott innan de hunnit fylla 30. Nu publiceras forskningsresultat som även visar att en historia av allvarlig psykisk sjukdom ökar risken för att återfalla i kriminalitet. – Det här är personer som behöver få både tidigare och

När covid-19-pandemin svepte över världen 2020 blev mRNA-vaccinerna räddningen för många – men i bakgrunden fanns en annan, mindre känd hjälte: lipidnanopartikeln. Utan dessa små ”fettdroppar” hade vaccinet aldrig kunnat levereras in i kroppens celler. Och faktum är att den lär få fler uppdrag framöver.
