If silence is golden, speech is silver – and singing the worst. Singing doesn’t need to be silenced, however, but at the moment the wisest thing is to sing with social distancing in place. The advice comes from aerosol researchers at Lund University in Sweden. They have studied the amount of particles we actually emit when we sing – and by extension – if we contribute to the increased spread of Co

A donation of SEK 76 million from Birgit Rausing will enable Lund University’s Faculty of Medicine to establish the humanities as an integrated part of medical training and research. This is a long-term investment, focusing on interpersonal relations between care providers and care recipients within all the faculty’s disciplines. Both research and education will be included in the new interdiscipl

Compared with other migratory birds, the common swift follows a very unusual pattern when it migrates from the breeding areas in Europe to its wintering locations south of the Sahara. This is what researchers have observed in a major eleven-year international study of the birds. “Our study is very significant for understanding how organisms, in this case the common swift, can migrate from one part

Metformin is the first-line drug that can lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients. One third of patients do not respond to metformin treatment and 5 per cent experience serious side effects, which is the reason many choose to stop medicating. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now identified biomarkers that can show in advance how the patient will respond to metformin treat

Stephan Reber has been awarded an Ig Nobel Prize for Acoustics - for a 2015 study that involved an alligator inhaling helium. This was done to understand if crocodilians have resonances in their vocalizations, something that certain animals use to communicate body size. “I am extremely happy and grateful for this prize. As we all know, 2020 has been a year of bad news, so when I heard about this,

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a computational model which is effective in detecting and identifying genetic mutations in breast tumours. The study, the largest of its kind in the world, includes results from over 3 200 patients with breast cancer. The researchers used RNA sequencing, a sensitive, precise tool which has very gradually started to be applied clinically, alth

Anyone who can predict outcomes for Forex rates can earn considerable amounts of money. However, research shows this cannot be done reliably and should be avoided by serious corporations - as it does not generate any excess profit, according to two leading Lund University researchers in foreign exchange risk management. “It’s like looking into a crystal ball – with a little luck your prediction wi

A drug has shown great promise in the treatment of neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer. The study was led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, and is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Every year, about 800 children in the US are diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer of the nervous system that most frequently arises in the adrenal glands

I slutet av januari träffades för första gången omkring 50 doktorander från fyra länder för att diskutera skogens dåtid, nutid och framtid. En nyckelinsikt från mötet var att pågående forskning är långt mycket bredare än vad den allmänna debatten ger sken av. Deltagare från 10 universitet i Sverige, Norge, Danmark och Polen gick från storskaligt till mikroskopiskt, från EU:s skogspolitik till mikr
