Marine worm with outstanding vision fascinates researchers
The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the sea

Supporting African cities in addressing climate-related displacement
In a spirit of collaboration and commitment, Lund University's programme 'Human Rights and Gender Equality in Climate and Disaster Displacement' has reached its culmination. The programme's final workshop, held in Uganda on August 21-22, served as a dynamic platform for participants from Freetown, Kampala, and Nairobi to present their transformative City Profiles. These profiles encapsulate their

Researchers create AI animals that simulate the evolution of vision
A research team has created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. This happened despite the fact that the digital creatures weren’t given any instructions. The results show how AI can be used to understand the inner secrets of evolution. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer. In the

4,000-year-old texts to reach new audiences in landmark digital project
Researchers at Lund University are participating in an international project that is transforming access to some of the world’s oldest written sources. As part of the collaboration, an Arabic digital interface has been developed to make cuneiform texts - written on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia over more than three millennia - accessible to new audiences. “This new initiative will not only h

The body’s fantastic defence system gets help in the fight against cancer
T cells, antibodies, immune defences – concepts we have learnt more about after a couple of years of a global Covid-19 pandemic. Understanding of how the immune system works against cancer is another major issue for research and development of new treatments. ‟Antibodies have been used in cancer care for close to 25 years but it is over the past five years that new techniques and treatments have t

Errors detected in several historical consumer price indices
New research from Lund University found several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases. The findings can have major consequences for future research. Faults in the data might already have influenced decisions made by politicians regarding economic policy, according to Jonas Ljungberg, Professor emeritus of Economic History. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European c

What city life will be like if we reach our climate goals
In political debate, the notion of climate transition is often presented as a road lined with sacrifices. Many researchers, however, paint a picture of a day-to-day life that could be better than today’s. What is experienced as good or bad varies from one person to the next, and may vary over time. “Whether something is getting better or worse is, of course, a subjective judgement. Norms change o

Language is the key to understanding the diversity of our senses
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Linguist Niclas Burenhult has been awarded close to SEK 14 million by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond for his field project Language as key to perceptual diversity: an interdisciplinary approach to the senses. “We like to believe that everyone perceives the world in the same way. But studying small and lesser-known language

Extra-short nanowires best for brain
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. If in the future electrodes are inserted into the human brain – either for research purposes or to treat diseases – it may be appropriate to give them a ‘coat’ of nanowires that could make them less irritating for the brain tissue. However, the nanowires must not exceed a certain length, according to new research from

The role of humour in multicultural workplaces
We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

Ukraine First Deputy Minister of Education back in Lund for a day
This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. “Being new in the government of Ukraine is like learning to ride a bike that is broken, while someone is throwing stones at you, and you are trying to fix the bike at the same time”, said Inna Sovsun, Ukraine’s First Deputy Minister of Education and a former Lund University student. She was only 29 when she was asked

Dignified end for Ivar Broman’s research collection
The Faculty of Medicine currently preserves the so-called Broman Collection at the Archive Centre South. The collection, a remnant of medical research conducted between the 1920s and 1950s, consists of preserved foetuses and full-term infants. At the request of the Faculty of Medicine’s board, the Vice-Chancellor has now decided that the collection will be discontinued and the foetuses and childre
