Swedish journalists lack trust in the judicial system's ability to protect them from illegal online harassment, according to a recent study. The primary reason is the judicial system's tendency to downplay the harm caused by online harassment. Oscar Björkenfeldt, a PhD student in the Sociology of Law department, believes that the judiciary needs to change attitudes toward online offences. "There i
Professor Michael Edgerton in exciting and new collaboration with ESS Why do you collaborate with ESS and when did the collaboration start? The collaboration began a little more than a year ago. For years I have collaborated with scientists on both artistic and research projects, and just generally been inspired by scientific ideas applied to music composition. Before coming to Sweden, I read ab

A particle physicist involved in popular education and who made a number of global discoveries in her research portfolio and a professor of theoretical physical chemistry who has developed theoretical models in the area straddling chemistry and physics. Melissa Franklin and Clifford Woodward have been appointed honorary doctors at the Faculty of Science at Lund University. Melissa Franklin, a part
Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets. WASP-189b is a planet outside our own solar system, with a dayside temperature of 3,200 degrees C

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University, Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are als

Over the past six months, many managers and staff have contributed to the efforts to balance the books in the Central Administration. As in the rest of the University, we need to lower our costs. The cost-cutting package includes many different measures, for example not recruiting to certain roles after retirements or resignations, consolidation of premises, reduced resources in some areas, a revi

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.

A career in science was not on the map for Kári Stefánsson, who aspired to become a writer. But life took another road and the return to Iceland almost three decades ago marked the start of a journey that would revolutionize genetics. Meet this year’s receiver of the Eric K. Fernström Award. "Genetics is the only way to systematically study human nature. So we came to the conclusion that the way t

It is always exciting to move into a new student apartment. You might think that all student apartments look pretty much the same, both in terms of layout and interior design, but that is far from the truth.

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th

The photosynthesis of tropical species in montane rain forest is very sensitive to high temperature which means high-altitude rain forests are particularly under threat by global warming. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a study published in the journal New Phytologist. An increase in temperature usually stimulates photosynthesis and growth for plants at our
