Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

According to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, approximately one in five Swedes are already choosing not to buy American brands. The majority would consider boycotting American products such as Coca-Cola in favour of European or Swedish alternatives. A study conducted by brand researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Norstat Sweden, shows that virtually all Swedish c

For decades, doctors have warned parents that too much TV can harm children’s development. After all, television is one of the main activities in kids’ daily lives, and school performance plays a crucial role in shaping their future opportunities in the job market. It’s no wonder that physicians and educators have long been concerned about how hours spent in front of the screen might affect learni

Internationalisation has become more important – and more complex – in recent years. In a world where democracy and academic freedom are under threat, Lund University needs to take greater responsibility for its international collaboration, according to International Coordinator Pär Svensson. In recent years, the focus on internationalisation, through the Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) approach i

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

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

Plans to move some research and education to Science Village are being formulated. But the University’s finances are proving to be a limiting factor for the establishment. The goal for the University is to have completed a premises programme by the end of the year, which is essential if research and teaching are to be conducted in Science Village by 2030. Yet, Science Village Scandinavia AB, which

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake. Strong winds combined with high water levels are a warning sign for communities on the south coast of Skåne, and that’s where the researchers are heading, to the heart of the action. They a

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition.
