For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

New research could enable better healthcare for patients with benign tumours of the adrenal glands. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified the levels of cortisol produced by the tumours which are associated with higher mortality rates. Up to half of benign adrenal tumours produce excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol. Until now, researchers did not know at which levels the co

In their quest to find new and better methods to make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment, Karin Lindkvist and her research group at Lund University in Sweden are looking into the world of molecules, using the X-rays at the MAX IV laboratory. The researchers believe that limiting the cells' access to sugar will make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Many of the cancer treatments use

Several of the Faculty's departments will elect a new department board this year. It is a long process that is preceded by nominations and elections to a nomination committee. In parallel, the process of appointing a new Head of Department is also ongoing. But what does the board do and why is it important to participate in the process? Here is what our Heads of department say. Why is it important

This week, a first workshop was held for SWEAH PhD students who want to learn more about impact, collaborating with actors outside academia and how to reach decision-makers and achieve real change. It is not always easy and it requires structured work, the participants noted. On October 15, SWEAH is arranging a second workshop, when a tool that can facilitate this will be examined in more detail.

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA). The new preferential right requires

Using a torch, a camera, a water bottle and pieces of Lego, Emanuel Larsson built a scanner now used as a prototype to develop future beamlines at ESS. It was late on a Friday evening in December three years ago that Emanuel Larsson, a postdoc in solid mechanics, started constructing a tomography scanner out of objects he found in his kitchen at home. ‟At the time, the aim was to be able to explai
