Five ways to create a toxin-free garden

Toxins and chemicals are a major threat to our environment. The "third crisis" - the chemical crisis - is often forgotten when we talk about the climate and endangered species. Ahead of Biodiversity Day on 22 May, Maria Hansson, a researcher at Lund University, offers tips on how to create a non-toxic environment in your own garden, benefiting all its inhabitants, big and small. Synthetically prod

Migratory songbirds climb to extreme altitudes during daytime

Great reed warblers normally migrate by night during its month-long migration from northern Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa. However, researchers have now discovered that during the few occasions when it continues to fly during daytime, it flies at extremely high altitudes (up to 6300 meters). One possible explanation for this unexpected and consistent behaviour could be that the birds want to avoid

Research to be evaluated without grades or gold stars

RQ20, the new major research quality evaluation, is underway! It is based on self-evaluations and will involve around 5 000 members of staff. In contrast to the last time, in 2008, there is no extra money for the fields of research that come out best. There will be no grades or gold stars. “However, the evaluation will provide considerable assistance for self-help”, promise project managers Freddy

They want to shine a light on a dark chapter

What do human remains really have to do with a museum? When Lund University closed the Department of Anatomy of 1995, its collection of human remains was transferred to the Historical Museum. Now, the museum wants to conduct a proper review of the collection in order to communicate more about it. Human remains in a museum context awaken many feelings. As recently as last year, Lund University hand

Researchers reject the EU reform plans for CAP – “not viable for the future”

When it comes to meeting sustainability goals, the current reform proposal of the EU Commission on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) falls well short at the mark, accordning to a group of international researchers writing in the journal Science. The proposed amendments to the CAP will not improve the environmental protection – rather the opposite, says Dagmar Clough, ecologist at Lund Universit

Big data, muffins and space travel

What do muffins and space travel have in common? Answer: They affect our genes through altered DNA methylation patterns. Two researchers who studied this recently met at the public defence of a doctoral thesis at Lund University. Andrew Feinberg from Johns Hopkins University's School of Medicine in Baltimore, USA, has often been called the "father of epigenetics”.  When the US Space Agency NASA de

MOOCs more popular during the pandemic

IIIEE is taking the lead on open, month-long online courses, known as MOOCs. The investment in MOOCs has been quite a success. In recent years, every sixth student has stated that the online courses influenced them to apply for one of the IIIEE’s traditional courses or programmes. That MOOCs attract students to study programmes is only one of several positive aspects. The opportunity to collaborat

Understanding the behaviour of light and matter - key to future technologies

If we can understand how and why light and matter behave as they do, we are one step closer to solving some of the most fundamental problems in physics. Finding the answers to these questions drives Ville Maisi, Associate Professor of Solid States Physics, Department of Physics. As long as he can remember he has been interested electric circuits and physics. With the support of a new ERC Consolida
