Me time, couple time and more free time in everyday life. Many people wish they had more time – but is there a sustainable approach to time? Historian David Larsson Heidenblad is looking for the answer. In many Swedish homes there is a well-thumbed copy of Bodil Jönsson’s book Ten Thoughts about Time, a book that sold over 600,000 copies 20 years ago. In the book, the author discussed clock time,

Continuous-cover forestry methods are gaining attention as a way to enable forests to deliver a broader range of benefits. The aim is to make forestry more sustainable, but significant challenges remain. These will now be addressed in a new project where five organisations are testing continuous-cover forestry in practice. In Bockeboda, just outside Kristianstad, the future of continuous-cover for

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

Drygt två veckor efter klimatmötet i Egypten möts ledare från världens länder på nytt, denna gång för att hantera en annan akut kris som mänskligheten står inför – förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Frågan är mindre känd än klimatkrisen och något ramverk motsvarande Parisavtalet finns inte på plats – något många hoppas att det kommande toppmötet i Montreal i december ska ändra på. Den kallas ibland

Det finns mycket forskning om vilken kost som minskar risken för typ 2-diabetes, men det behövs mer kunskap om hur våra gener påverkar vår förmåga att bryta ner mat. Nu ger en ny studie som har letts av forskare vid Lunds universitet ökat stöd för att variationer i en gen som kallas AMY1 har betydelse för hur våra kroppar tar hand om stärkelserik mat. Ohälsosamma matvanor är en riskfaktor för att

Cell replacement therapy has long been a hope for patients with Parkinson’s disease and efforts are on their way to use stem cell derived-dopaminergic neurons in clinical trials. On 14 October, Jessica Giacomoni defends her thesis. Her project about the direct conversion of human glial cells into therapeutic neurons directly within the brain has the ultimate goal to become an alternative to cell t

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body’s capability to form new blood vessels in muscles – a mechanism that affects physical performance, health and recovery. The favourable gene variant is considerably more common among top athletes in endurance sports, compared with both top athletes in explosive sports and non-at

The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi
