Lundalektorn Joakim Zander blev jurist i Uppsala och doktor i Nederländerna, men författarskapet har han tagit med sig till Lund, hemstaden sedan drygt tio år. Den 31 juli har filmatiseringen av spänningsromanen ”Ett ärligt liv” premiär på Netflix. Där utgör Lund både skådeplats och brottsplats för en juriststudents drömmar och vedermödor.

Mineraler och metaller behövs för batterier, motorer och för elektrifieringen. Men var gruvor ska etableras och hur man ska hantera deras påverkan är komplicerat och svårlöst. Tre forskare reflekterar kring om mineralutvinningen kan bli hållbar. Jakten på mineraler skapar nya konflikter. När efterfrågan på metaller till batterier och motorer ökar uppstår debatt om var gruvor ska ligga och vilken p

När sociologen Alison Gerber fick 1,5 miljoner euro från EU skulle hon för första gången sätta ihop och leda en egen forskargrupp. Att gå in i rollen som forskargruppsledare har varit kul, men också en utmaning. För fyra år sedan fick Alison Gerber, docent i sociologi, det prestigefulla ERC Starting Grant på 1,5 miljoner euro för projektet ”Show and tell”. Hon ville undersöka hur vi ser på nya ty

De flesta kvinnor kommer någon gång under sitt yrkesliv att befinna sig i klimakteriet. Hur kan en arbetsplats riggas för att underlätta för anställda i övergångsåldern? Ett pilotprojekt vid Lunds universitet undersöker frågan. Svettningar, humörsvängningar och dålig sömn. Många kvinnor lider av att vara i klimakteriet. Enligt en studie från 2021 publicerad av Socialstyrelsen har 60 procent måttli

Despite groundbreaking research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and reduce costs – with the aim to give more patients access to advanced, potentially curative treatments.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at the School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining.

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – previously known as UFOs – have fascinated humankind for centuries, from mysterious lights in the sky to sensor data and close contacts which defy conventional explanations.
