The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Olga had published academic work over 25 times before she fell victim to a predatory journal. Today she is embarrassed be

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University have contributed to creating a uniquely detailed global climate model that will increase our understanding of climate change. It is the first time that vegetation and land use, at this level of detail, are included in climate modeling within EC-Earth, a global climate and earth system mo

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

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

It is time to summarise 2021, a year in which nothing was the same as before, if a year can ever be like another. For me personally, it has been transformative to take over as vice-chancellor of Lund University together with a new management team: deputy vice-chancellor Lena Eskilsson and the five pro vice-chancellors Per Mickwitz, Kristina Eneroth, Ann-Kristin Wallengren, Jimmie Kristensson and V

Megg Garcia-Ryde’s thesis sheds light on the early pathological processes in Alzheimer’s disease and the interplay between neurons and microglia as the disease evolves. October 10, she defends her thesis. Now, she gives her perspectives from a close collaboration between the experimental neuroinflammation laboratory and the experimental dementia research group and how she brings together the exper

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga.

On 20 December, 2022 Kristijonas Zemaitis will defend his Ph.D. thesis. With the goal to improve the availability of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for the treatment of patients with blood disorders, he has spent the past several years working to better understand HSCs and how they are regulated to one day propagate these stem cells in the lab for therapeutic purposes.
