A study of individuals who have been adopted has identified genetics as the dominant risk factor in ‘familial’ breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. Researchers at the Centre for Primary Health Care Research at Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden have presented the new research findings based on studies of population registers.“The results of our study do not mean that an individual’s li

One in eight respondents to the latest OSA survey stated that they did not know where to turn if they were subjected to victimisation, harassment, threats or violence in the workplace. Emmy Heidenblad, HR Partner at IKVL's office, provides clarity on the issue. What is victimisation or sexual harassment? – Victimisation and harassment can mean different things to different people, but what it real

An economist as a comic book character, podcaster, or cultural commentator? Andreas Bergh from LUSEM has chosen all three (and a bit more) as he, alongside his lectures on microeconomics and the welfare state, curiously explores various ways to reach the public. Here, he shares his best tips on where and why. Comics – because it’s so challenging. "It’s a challenge to simplify complex things. That’

Join us on a journey through the centuries, a hunt for the point where the present and the past merge. The history of the University is alive and well among us. After all, it is the same city, the same streets and buildings now as then. The only thing that distinguishes us from our colleagues from the 1600s, from a purely geographical point of view, is a measurable stretch in space: 350 years of U

Population density, and not the proportion of green spaces, has the biggest impact on species richness of pollinators in residential areas. This is the result of a study from Lund University in Sweden of gardens and residential courtyards in and around Malmö, Sweden. The result surprised the researchers, who had expected that the vegetation cover would be more significant.“We have found that, in c

How can the climate movement continue its struggle and be a force for change in the light of other current crises such as social and economic injustices, inequalities and pandemics? Mine Islar, researcher at LUCSUS, says that joining forces with other causes and movements are one way forward, another is to stay focused and keep a long-term perspective. On October 15, LUCSUS is organising the event

By invading Ukraine, Russia is not only violating international law - it is also preventing people in Ukraine from enjoying the most basic human rights, such as the right to health care, medicine and education. Lena Halldenius and Jessica Almqvist, both professors of human rights and coordinators of Lund University's new profile area Human Rights in a Polarised World, answer four questions about h

WINGS is happy to invite you to a lunch seminar with Jessica Abbott (Researcher, Evolutionary Ecology, Lund University) My main interest is in the evolutionary genetics of sex differences, especially sexually antagonistic genetic variation—in other words, when the same gene has opposite effects on the fitness of males and females. Sexually antagonistic genes and traits are interesting because they

Heatwaves similar to those experienced in Europe in 2018 can have a very negative impact on animals. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that overheated birds have smaller offspring, and that those that are born may have lower chances of survival. Researchers were already aware that animals living in very warm regions of the globe are less active during the hottest hours of the day. N

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and jet streams challenge our understanding of the winds and chemistry found on ultrahot planets. Just over 5,800 exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than our Sun – have been discovered since the

Early in the morning there was the sound of explosions and the sky lit up. Since 24 February 2022, Lund University has stood in solidarity with Ukraine’s universities. Are there lessons to be learned from the period when Kiev’s largest university had to rapidly adapt to war and a humanitarian crisis? This is an article from LTHIn (the Faculty of Engineering).

As students at Lund University, they studied the effects of climate change. As alumni, they are now negotiating the future of climate policy on behalf of the EU and the Swedish government. Lund University alumni headed to the COP29 negotiations in Azerbaijan with differing titles, goals and aims.

In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl.

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w
