Gå i pension? Ja. Pensionera sig? Nej. – Jag fortsätter, säger Honor Prentice, Naturvetenskapliga fakultetens första kvinnliga professor. Hon minns den där försommardagen i Uppsala 1992. Hon satt på sitt tjänsterum på institutionen när en kollega kom in och sa att en journalist från Upsala Nya Tidning ville träffa henne. Varför begrep hon inte.

Örtbad mot ömma axlar, viktminskningskurs, stresshantering – det är några aktiviteter som man får använda sitt friskvårds­bidrag till utöver vanlig träning.

Under 1960-talet fanns ett sällskap som kallade sig Universitetsfruarna. Samtidigt som kvinnliga akademiker var på stark frammarsch och universitetet expanderade i rask takt så organiserade fruarna till lektorer och professorer sig i sällskapet. Nu efterlyser Universitetshistoriska sällskapet information om Universitetsfruarna, som lämnat mycket få spår efter sig. I januari 1962 inbjöd åtta damer,

Trade shocks can have various impacts on the economic activities of a country, yet it remains uncertain whether such shocks influence the environmental behaviors of firms.

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road?
