Earlier this month, Simon Hultmark defended his Ph.D. thesis. In pursuit of his long-standing fascination for stem cells, his research over the last several years has focused on blood stem cells and cancer. All in an effort to contribute to the development of improved clinical therapies for patients with a type of blood cancer known as acute myeloid leukemia. In this interview, he tells us about h

For the last three years, middle-school classrooms in Lund and Staffanstorp have been getting a special visit during the autumn: scientists walk in with stories about their favorite research topic and what it is like to work in a lab. This is the Science to Schools program, an initiative that began as an idea from PhD student Abigail Altman and has now grown into a collaboration involving Lund Ste

Projektet ICOS Cities har utvecklat innovativa verktyg som hjälper städer att övervaka utsläpp av växthusgaser i nära realtid. Projektet gör det möjligt för städer att verifiera utsläpp, identifiera utsläppskällor och utvärdera effekterna av olika klimatåtgärder. ICOS Cities är ett samarbete mellan fler än 30 universitet och 15 städer. Flera forskare från MGeo har bidragit till projektets framgång

I Aftonbladets debattserie #viktigasteklimatrösterna skriver forskare om hur klimatpolitiken skulle se ut om forskningen fick bestämma. I del 8 skriver vår forskare Johan Hultman om artutrotning och bristen på insikt av denna i partiernas valmanifest. Johan Hultman uppmanar politiker som känner sig manade att ta ett verkligt miljöansvar för planetens framtid och ställa sig upp inför väljarna med e

Att vandra i skogen är inte bara en naturupplevelse, det är också en doftsensation. Men en ändrad doft från träden kan vara ett tecken på att skogen är klimatstressad. Detta är resultat som forskare tar med sig in i ett nytt projekt som ska utvärdera konsekvenserna av ett förändrat skogsbruk. Forskningsprojektet koordineras av Lunds universitet och finansieras av EU med 60 miljoner kronor. Kunskap
