Researcher Burak Tunca at the School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during the course o

Vid vårens ankomst tar humledrottningarna säsongens första vingslag och ger sig ut för att hitta nya boplatser. Men de flyger ut allt tidigare på året till följd av varmare klimat och ett förändrat jordbrukslandskap, visar ny forskning. – Risken är att vi förlorar ytterligare humlearter och får minskad pollinering av grödor och vilda växter, säger forskaren Maria Blasi Romero vid Centrum för miljö

Sexvärt krom är ett starkt cancerframkallande ämne som kan användas vid tillverkning av till exempel färg och rostskydd samt ytbehandling av metallprodukter. Det kan också frisättas vid tillverkning av eller svetsning i rostfritt stål. I Sverige exponeras ungefär 18 000 arbetare för sexvärt krom på sin arbetsplats.

Flera studier har undersökt och funnit ett starkt samband mellan diabetes och demens. Den förhöjda risken att insjukna i en demenssjukdom gäller både vid typ 1 och typ 2 diabetes. En väsentlig del av risken utgörs av alltför höga blodsockervärden. I en studie från University of California, San Francisco, USA, analyserade forskarna sambandet mellan utdragna höga blodsockernivåer, mätta som HbA1c (s
