The Hutu militia FDLR, who were behind the genocide in Rwanda, now live in eastern Congo, one of a number of rebel groups in the war-torn country. Social anthropologist Anna Hedlund has lived with the group and describes the systematic attacks on the Congolese population, as well as a hopeless situation in which the g

Last year's Nobel celebration was a digital version, but this year David Julius, who won the Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology in 2021, will travel to Stockholm for the festivities. In this interview he talks about what such a prize leads to, about the joy of curiosity-driven research that, although lacking guardrails, is full of creativity and opportunities – and about the similarity between

Generative AI is a topic that currently engages many of us. It is present in corridor conversations, in our teaching and in the way we work. Even if not all the work is yet visible, a great deal is happening – both at the university-wide level and here at the Faculty – to understand what this means for our programmes and how we can best embrace AI in our activities.For the Faculty leadership, this

It is still unclear how much students and staff will be on campus in the autumn, but a gradual return is being planned. Discussions are also being held as to whether technical and administrative staff will be able to continue working from home after the pandemic. At the University, teaching staff and researchers have long been able to choose to work from home when that was most effective for them

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Foto:Mostphotos Are people generally trustworthy? Yes, say about two out of three Swedes. Nordic countries are ranked high in what we call interpersonal trust. In other countries, trust is not as obvious. What happens when these perspectives meet? Economist Andreas Bergh has studied the phenomenon more closely. In Swe

For two decades, researchers at Lund University's strategic research area, Lund Stem Cell Center, have focused on developing and refining stem cell research to improve human health. Now that the 20th anniversary is approaching, it is time to reflect on the progress made and the possibilities that researchers see for stem cell research in the future. Stem cells can make any inventor green with envy

In this autumn’s second "Dean's corner" Charlotta Turner reflects on the Faculty’s first Inspiration Day for Science Teachers and on the ongoing work to establish a Learning Lab in the Astronomy Building – a testbed for the teaching and learning environments of the future. It’s now been a week since the Faculty hosted its very first Inspiration day for science teachers, and I must say I still smil

Antibiotic treatments help the body to fight infections and should have as little negative impact on humans as possible. A new study in the journal Nature Medicine shows that the use of antibiotics can affect the human gut microbiota for several years. The study found that some types of antibiotics had a greater impact on the gut microbiota than others. “It is great that we have antibiotics which

Obstacles to internationalisation need to be removed Published 27 September 2021 Lund University often talks about internationalisation and the importance of working internationally, both through research collaborations and in education. As we live in a globalised era, major and complex issues cannot be resolved other than through international collaboration. The pandemic and climate change are cl

Can innovation strengthen research? Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, has done exactly that by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it's genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within research?“Twenty year

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky.

Who are you – a separator or an integrator? Mobiles and laptops have created a working life where it is possible to work anytime and anywhere. In a major study, work environment researchers have identified how seven different personality types set boundaries – or not – between work and free time.

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance. This according to doctoral student John Falk, who is currently working on his dissertation about cloud droplet and ice particle formation in clou

Probably you have looked into a candle light and been fascinated by the high intensity of the yellow light! Have you ever been thinking about the origin of this light? This brilliant light actually comes from nano-meter sized carbonaceous particles that we in daily life call soot. Soot particles emitted from a combustion process to the ambient air are black, but at flame temperatures 1500 - 2000 °

As part of current efforts to work towards sustainable development, find solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt cities to the effects of climate change, such as floods and extreme heat, there are high hopes that nature-based solutions (NBS) can support the transformation needed. Based on the knowledge that implementation of NBS is still emerging and constrained by various barriers,
