His ambition is to awaken our longing for a life which doesn’t revolve around wage labour. “If I had a citizen’s salary, I would do the same things I do now – read, write and have an occasional go with a scrubbing-brush, to make life more real. Others might play computer games, which would of course be perfectly OK”, says sociologist Roland Paulsen, who has become a bit of a standard-bearer for th

Lunds universitets forskare drar in stora externa anslag som ger universitetet inkomster och prestige. Men kraven på medfinansiering är ett växande problem. Institutioner och fakulteter har svårt att matcha de externa finansiärerna, som villkorar sina bidrag. Resultatet blir att man på flera håll avråder sina forskare från att söka vissa anslag för att institutionen inte har råd att ta emot dem. T

The first phase was filled with creativity and collective effort. Elsa Trolle Önnerfors was surprised by how smooth the transition to distance education was. However, now the focus is more on how students are feeling and on perseverance – for how long is unknown "I used a year's worth of creativity in the first few weeks, and learnt that you can do a lot if you are not afraid to test things out",

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Kidney exchange, refugee placements and choosing schools. Separate things but with the common denominator that, with digitalisation's new tools, it is possible to save both time and money – and to save lives. "I don't like it when I see things that are wrong which research could solve. Then it is up to me to take my responsibility and tell politicians and decision-makers how they could be solved"

When we cough and speak we launch droplets and if the person launching these droplets is sick from some kind of virus disease, such as COVID19, the droplets can contain viruses. These viruses have been found to be one of the main contributors to the spreading of the pandemic disease.
