Carbon offsetting can be strongly questioned as an environmental strategy, due to major challenges in reconciling climate benefits with local needs, participation and development. This is the view taken by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, who studied a tree-planting project in Uganda, through which a number of Swedish companies carbon offset their activities. Carbon offsetting is an env

Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

This autumn, Lund University will offer its first three free open online courses, known as MOOCs. They will be in green economy, global health and European business law. Despite this decision, opinions are still partially divided. Some see MOOCs as a motor for development that will rejuvenate and adapt higher education to new methods of learning. Others fear that the hype surrounding MOOCs will ro

Sociologists of law find that Swedish law enforcement struggles to investigate the exploitation of migrant workers. Only two percent of reported cases end up in court. Central to the justice deficit are two interacting logics: the criminal law logic and the labour migration regime. Of the 237 cases of human trafficking for forced labour and human exploitation reported to Swedish police from 2012 t

Using X-ray and neutron scattering, a team of researchers in Lund has succeeded in mapping the fibril structure of the beta-amyloid 42 protein that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The new knowledge could be an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the future search for effective drugs. In Alzheimer’s disease, the atrophy of the nerve cells in the brain leads to memory problems and cognitive

Small passerine birds, such as blue and great tits, avoid breeding in urban areas where there are many non-native trees. Chicks also weigh less the more non-native trees there are in the vicinity of the nest. This is shown in a long-term study from Lund University, Sweden. City trees contribute to several important ecosystem services such as lowering local temperature and purifying air but are als

New research at Lund University in Sweden shows that the flight speed of birds is determined by a variety of factors. Among the most sensational is that the size of the flock has a significant impact on how fast the birds can fly. The larger the flock, the higher the speed. Researchers at the Faculty of Science in Lund have now shown how several factors, working simultaneously together, determine
