The machines have started rolling in at Norunda and are cutting down trees, one by one. Norunda is Sweden’s oldest measuring station for greenhouse gases and it is unique. Following several decades of being surrounded by a hundred-year-old forest, it will instead be surrounded by a clear-cut. - We expect a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, says professor Natascha Kljun at CEC.

"Listen to the scientists”, says Greta Thunberg. But what happens if that's just not enough? Climate researchers are facing a dilemma: should they let their work speak for itself, or must they take to the barricades? Does activism among scientists impact the credibility of their results? Some people claim that civil disobedience among researchers brings much needed attention to the climate emergen

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

Agroecology is a better alternative than large-scale agriculture - both for the climate and for small farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to LUCSUS researcher Ellinor Isgren. This agricultural model preserves biodiversity and safeguards food supply while avoiding soil depletion.  – We must consider other, alternative models for developing agriculture, particularly in countries that have not a

Snart kan det bli lättare att spåra giftalger på mycket tidigt stadium. En ny metod gör det möjligt att spåra upp till 10 000 gånger lägre koncentrationer än vad som är möjligt idag. Cyanobakterier, som är den mer korrekta benämningen på de hälsovådliga organismerna, ökar snabbt världen över till följd av övergödningen och den globala uppvärmningen.Tidig upptäckt kan rädda liv och göra reningsinsa

Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

350-ÅRSJUBILEUM. Welcome to this symposium on Wednesday March 8th, where we look at poverty development in Sweden during the last 100 years & trends in men & women's incomes in Africa. Life expectancy in the Western world, like in Sweden, has expanded linearly by about 25 years during the 20th century, a bit more for women than men. At the same time, living standards have improved tremendously. In
