“Thy throne rests on mem’ries from great days of yore, when worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon...” is the translation of the words of the Swedish national anthem, which tries to construct a memory of a glorious national past.

Where did I put my sunglasses? Where have the car keys got to, what is the door code to Lisa’s building, and what did I do yesterday afternoon? We all know how irritating it can be when our memory doesn’t work as it should. However, it can be difficult to know what is a ‘normal’ poor memory and what is the result of disease.

The scent of a madeleine dipped in lime blossom tea awakened a flood of childhood memories for the main character in Marcel Proust’s famous novel about ‘lost time’. The madeleine is an example of a clue for the memory. In Proust’s case, the clue worked subconsciously, in other cases we can use clues to consciously try to recall the memories for which we are searching. Mikael Johansson puts a gel o

Meet Markku Rummukainen... ... Professor of Climatology, who conducts research on climate change and its consequences. Is this year’s hot summer a taste of things to come? “Yes, a general increase in temperatures means that hot weather will become increasingly common and cold weather less common.

With enthusiasts plus technological developments, a lot of progress can be made in quite a short space of time. This is shown by developments in cancer genetics advice, which is now a natural part of the health service, but which was questioned 20 years ago. The primary enthusiasts were Professor of Oncology Håkan Olsson and Reader in Clinical Genetics Ulf Kristoffersson. At an anniversary symposi

How have you persuaded 5 000 lorry drivers to get involved in a project on cabotage – and what is it? “Cabotage is domestic transport carried out by foreign carriers.

In practice, it means that transport in Sweden can be run by foreign compan

Now she helps other doctoral students to finish on time, and to feel better during the process. “However, I would never have made this idea a reality without my experiences as a consultant in the private sector and my practical experience of writing a thesis at Berkeley”, she says.
