Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Moonlight determines when the red-necked nightjar feeds, migrates and raises its young. A groundbreaking long-term study from Lund University shows how the migratory bird’s entire annual cycle follows the moon’s rhythm. “… the lovely, melancholy moonlight, which makes the birds dream in the trees…”The French poet Paul Verlaine was seemingly wrong in his famous poem Clair de Lune. Moonlight does no

Barn som haft autoantikroppar innan de insjuknat i typ 1-diabetes har också haft en obalans i tarmfloran, visar tidigare forskning. I en ny studie ska forskare vid Lunds universitet och Region Skåne inom ramen för ett europeiskt forskarnätverk undersöka om probiotika från tidig ålder kan förhindra utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes hos barn med ökad genetisk risk. – Hypotesen är att probiotika ska frä
