Informationsåldern började långt före internet – den började med själva livet. Nobelpristagaren Craig C. Mello beskrev vid Lund Spring Symposium i maj hur levande organismer inte bara är bärare av gener, utan också aktiva förvaltare, försvarare och redaktörer av genetisk information. Craig Mello, som tillsammans med Andrew Fire tilldelades Nobelpriset 2006 för upptäckten av RNA-interferens (RNAi),

Idag har många av oss digitala kartor nära till hands i våra smartphones, men dessa kartor är inte anpassade för att vägleda oss när vi går till fots eller ska hitta i nya miljöer, till exempel som turister i en ny storstad. Att skapa sådana kartor kräver ingående kunskaper om kartors utformning och kan bli ännu bättre med hjälp av ny teknik som kan hantera stora datamängder. - Vi samarbetar med f

"Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS. He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on the lookout for integrated, holistic, solutions that can move beyond the siloes

How do you get a robot to behave in an ethical and moral way? Christian Balkenius is giving this a lot of thought, as it is the topic of his research project. However, he is also thinking about ethics among robot researchers. “It’s often said that we have advanced further than we actually have done. The aim of the research is not fulfilled if we are not honest.” Robots pique the imagination and

Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure were reversed? In the light of the #metoo movement’s many testimonies, LUM sat down

“When I see the ideal father role today, I see a copy of the motherhood myth.

After a long economic crisis, Lebanon is on the brink of ruin. The currency has lost much in value and people's savings have been eaten up.

För drygt 40 år sedan satt Åke Lernmark, då nybliven medicinstudent, på ett extrajobb i ett laboratorium i Umeå och mätte blodsockret på möss. Sedan dess är han fast. - Ja, jag fångades direkt av forskningen, säger Åke Lernmark. Allt mer av hans tid slukades av forskningen, medicinstudierna allt mer en bisak som han med olika knep sökte slippa. Någon examen blev det aldrig.- Ibland tänker jag att

(DIABETES) After more than a decade of stagnation, there is a major surge in kidney research effort. New drugs and biomarkers make it possible to detect and slow the progression of the disease earlier – something that long seemed unattainable. This will impact people with diabetes, for whom kidney damage is a serious long-term complication. “We are entering a new era. What is happening now is simi
