He is checking out at the same fighting weight as when he checked in, and does the same number of push-ups (40!) now as he did then. He has been through several tough rounds and had to fight to defend his convictions and his views on the University’s development. Per Eriksson summarises his time as vice-chancellor as “six years of incredibly great joy, development, pressure and intensity”. There w

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

Professor of Spanish Inger Enkvist has written a large number of books about education and teaching. She sees it as her obligation to take part in the debate on education, but she also participates in the public debate in other areas. Most recently, she wrote in Språktidningen about the Catalonian independence movement. Last year she was awarded the Instituto Cervantes intercultural prize for her

Where did all the carbon on earth really come from? How do you discuss climate change and mass extinctions without scaring children? and What positive examples do we have of mitigating human impact on the climate? These are some of the questions we have had to deal with in the process of collaborating with Vattenhallen Science Centre, Lund University to design their new exhibition, focused on plan

Arctic climate change research relies on field measurements and samples that are too scarce, and patchy at best. The researchers in the BECC action group looked at thousands of scientific studies, and found that around 30% of cited studies were clustered around only two research stations in the vast Arctic region. A paper in Nature Ecology & Evoloution was one of the result from the action group "

The international workshop "Citizen Science" was held on the 24th of April with BECC as one of the organizers. You can watch the workshop on video, if you didn't have the chance to be there. Many academic biologists are unaware of the rapidly expanding field of citizen science and the aim of the workshop was to both inform and inspire. The workshop covered a range of different areas of citizen sci

An exciting, interesting and well-visited BECC annual meeting went off October 17-18 at Falkenberg Grand Hotel. The program was filled with lessons from the past and implications for the future regarding biodiversity conservation and policy. The meeting ended with perspectives from a climate journalist and his great tips on how to communicate climate research to the public (and journalists!).

The region is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth and its polar bears and melting glaciers have become key symbols of climate change. But the Arctic, it seems, is not as well researched as we think it is. Since the Arctic covers some 14.5 million square kilometers, and conducting research in remote locations is very expensive, time consuming and often dangerous, the result is an extremely u

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f
