Plant protection products are used in agriculture for more predictable and better harvests. Honeybees and other flower-visiting insects are exposed to residues of these substances when they collect pollen and nectar in the landscape. According to a new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Lund University, pollen was found to contain high concentrations of many subst

Professor Lars Lind uses the EpiHealth cohort to investigate why people with diabetes have a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases and how genetic factors can contribute to this. He is trying to map a diabetes profile to find mechanisms which can instigate the development of a therapy in the future. Lars works at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University and

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel

The University’s Annual Academic Ceremony on 23 January 2026 saw Denmark’s former head of state, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, made an Honorary Fellow of Lund University. Honorary fellows at the University are extremely rare (former Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson is the only previous recipient of the title) and for a Danish Queen to be made an Honorary Fellow this time around seemed a hi

En dubblerad inflation i Tyskland under hundra år? När Jonas Ljungberg, professor emeritus i ekonomisk historia, undersökte forskning om europeiska länders konsumentprisindex de senaste 150 åren upptäckte han flera felaktigheter. Något som kan få stora konsekvenser för både forskning och de beslut som politiker fattar gällande bland annat ekonomisk politik. Jonas Ljungberg behövde tillgång till ol

Under sin mer än 50-åriga karriär har diabetesforskaren Åke Lernmark gjort flera betydande upptäckter som har ökat kunskapen om typ 1-diabetes. Hans forskning bidrar till att skapa förutsättningar för ett nationellt screeningprogram i Sverige. I Sverige insjuknar omkring 1000 barn och lika många vuxna i typ 1-diabetes varje år. Sjukdomen får stora konsekvenser för de familjer som drabbas. Barn med

Climate change is transforming the coldest regions of our planet at an unprecedented pace. Yet one of the key factors governing how ice sheets, glaciers, and permafrost respond is often overlooked: snow. A new EU-funded research project aims to change that. SnowPI (Polar Snow, Permafrost and Inland Ice in a Changing World), a newly launched Horizon Europe research project, is putting snow at the c

Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el
