Jonna Bornemark är en av Sveriges mest inflytelserika samtida filosofer. Hon har bidragit till att ompröva vår syn på etik, omdöme och människosyn inom medicin och hälso- och sjukvården. Nu är det är helt rätt tid att vara filosof. Vi befinner oss mitt i en samhällelig kris, där bland annat miljö- och migrationsfrågor gör de existensiella frågorna viktigare än någonsin.  – Filosofiska frågor är in

Många länder i Afrika påverkas fortfarande av strukturer som de gamla kolonimakterna la grunden till. Eller? I ett nytt projekt ska forskaren Erik Green från Ekonomihögskolan syna gamla sanningar i sömmarna. Han leder ett internationellt forskarteam som nu för första gången ska systematisera stora mängder historiska data från Ostindiska kompaniets kolonisering av Sydafrika. Under 1500- till 1700-t

En katalysator som kommer att modernisera naturvetenskapliga fakulteten, både i Brunnshög och på Sölvegatan. Dekan Sven Lidin må ha blivit ”närsynt, lönnfet och medelålders” under sina tio år i symbios med Science Village. Men hans framtidsvisioner är vitalare än någonsin. Det är en sådan där blek septemberförmiddag då de digitala mötena avlöser varandra. Men några minuter över 11 kommer naturvete

Ett enda elområde eller kanske ett femte? Elområdena i Sverige har länge varit hett omdiskuterade. Nu har regeringen tillsatt en ny utredning för att undersöka olika förslag som kan få väldigt olika konsekvenser för elpriset i olika delar av landet. Forskaren Hannes Sonnsjö reder ut för- och nackdelar med de olika alternativen. Dagens fyra områden har i många år varit rejält omdebatterad. Framför

We spoke with Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS ERIC Carbon Portal, about the latest World Meteorological Organization report, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, for which Alex serves as editor. Published in October – in time to provide the latest data to the COP30 meeting – the report describes the largest year-on-year rise in CO₂ levels since records began in the 1950s. Alex shares his thoughts on

Southern Scandinavia and Northern Germany form a leading life science region with unique research infrastructures that can help transform research into innovation. There is especially a large unused potential for industrial and clinical researchers to use these unique facilities. The HALRIC consortium led by Lund University has now received EU funding to build collaborations between companies, hos

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature Metabolism, shows how chemical changes to DNA affect both insulin-producing beta cells and glucagon-producing alpha cells – and how these patterns change in type 2 diabetes. All cells in the body have t

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmö’s largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the worms’ unique ability to regenerate has been harnessed to help accelerate wound healing in human skin models. A research team at Lund University was recently contacted by researchers at a Korean skincar

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for
