In the warming Arctic, changes in vegetation are altering how methane moves between land and atmosphere. At a long-term research site near Abisko in northern Sweden, Mats Björkman, researcher and BECC coordinator at University of Gothenburg, and colleagues have studied these processes for over 30 years. Their findings suggest that drier soils can increase methane uptake, and in some areas even shi

We have previously written about doctoral student Amanda Sjögren and her research. Here we have the opportunity to partake in her work in the form of a video clip from her work in the lab. Osteoarthritis research can be conducted in many different ways and in many different environments. In the lab where Amanda does part of her research, it is possible to study cartilage from both healthy and oste

Psychiatric conditions, above all depression and anxiety, are the leading cause of reduced ability to function in everyday life for children and young people. Children of parents with psychiatric problems have a high risk of developing their own problems, and when both parents are affected the risk is extreme. At the moment, however, knowledge is limited about which genetic, psychological and envi

What role does programming play in physics teaching? Can programming be used to teach physical concepts? In his dissertation, Kim Svensson examines how the movement between formula, code and visualisation can contribute to learning in physics. In the future, Kim hopes that programming can be used in a more open way, where students have the opportunity to explore their own models and ideas in a new
