We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Finding housing is a major challenge for students in university towns like Lund, where demand far exceeds supply. Long queue systems, high rents, and limited options force many to commute or move frequently — disrupting their studies and daily life. Negar Khaliliaraghi, shows in her research, a clear causal link between student housing and academic performance. Finding accommodation is often one o

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

This Regional Outlook focuses on the prospect for Israeli and Palestinian peace activism and how, during times of pressure, solidarity groups redress their methods. In the aftermath of October 7th, with Israeli hostages still in captivity and ongoing war, destruction and violence in Gaza, prospects for future peaceful coexistence in the region seem more distant than ever. In conjunction, Hamas’ ha

Why are there hundreds of jumbled human bones in the ground at Uppåkra? That is one of the mysteries that archaeologists at Lund University hope to be able to solve in the next few years. They will be aided by the latest DNA technology. A quiet calm rests over Uppåkra, just outside Lund. The only sound under the enormous tent canvas that has been hung just next to an old pigsty – which incidentall
