Nobel Prize and research infrastructuresIt is one year since Anne L'Hillier was awarded the Nobel Prize and we continue to celebrate. What impact does Anne's Nobel Prize have on us? This has come up many times over the past year. And another question has also been there: how do we get more Nobel Prizes? But the latter is not the right question. The Nobel Prize is a consequence of a healthy and in
The other physics departmentsAt the end of October, a group of heads of department from different physics departments in the country met at Chalmers to exchange experiences and to create an active network of heads of department. Participating were physics heads from Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, Uppsala, Stockholm and KTH (physics and applied physics), as well as the heads of microelectronic
My first yearI will soon have been Head of the Department of Physics for a full year and it has been an exciting year! Both for the department and for myself in my new role. Reading my first Head of Department letter from the beginning of the year, I realise that at the time I naively thought I would know what the job of Head of Department was like after a year. I've been through the annual cycle

The Year of the Snake - challenges, opportunities and the way forwardJust over a week ago, we entered the Year of the Snake - a time that, according to mythology, can bring uncertainty and chaos. Perhaps the Year of the Snake began earlier, given all that has been happening both here and in the world. We have seen both positive and negative events, and some developments are still unclear. At the s
RelevanceOne of the strengths of the Department of Physics is that we have a wonderful mix of pure basic and applied research, and everything in between - sometimes commissioned, but otherwise initiated by the researchers. We should therefore have a wide range of possible topics that can fit in with the expectations and desires of students and society, and we have every chance of attracting the be
Work environment issues are often divided into the physical work environment, including safety, and the psychosocial work environment. The physical work environment is easier to regulate and monitor. You need to be trained to handle chemicals in a laboratory, we have regular safety rounds and if something happens (like at the nano lab recently), there are routines and procedures in place to limit
On government governanceThe question of what is the best form of governance for Sweden's universities has been discussed in the research bill, in the research community and in the media. Lund University is a government agency, for better or worse. The advantage is that in well-funded times, the form of government agency ensures stable funding and support, and places demands on maintaining a high s

Communication is difficultA not uncommon scenario for me in my role as head of department is that I think that all information has gone out in a case, but then I later hear that key people have not received the information. And the question always becomes - assuming that the information really went out - whether it is that the information went out to the wrong or too few channels, or whether the p

Rikke Lie Halberg "Ro på" siger danskerne, når noget eskalerer. Det er et udtryk, der næsten er umuligt at oversætte direkte til svensk. Det skal jo for det første ikke foverksles med den svenske måde at heppe på andre på: "Kämpa på!" I den kontekst ville "ro på!" være et oplagt kampråb ved kaproning eller andre discipliner, hvor båd og årer indgår. Men på dansk handler det om det stik modsatte, n

The beautiful mess of inhabiting borders Kl. 13.00-14.00, torsdag 23 oktober, 2025 På detta seminarium presenterar Caroline Dahl (SLU Alnarp). Inom landskapsekologi studeras landskapselementens rumslighet, deras ekologiska funktioner och ömsesidiga beroendeförhållanden. Man har funnit att det är landskapselements utkanter som hyser flest arter, i vad som beskrivs som eko-toner. Inom sociologin gör

Den svenske stemme i Danmark Bente Rosenbeck Jeg stødte på Valfrid Palmgren Munch-Petersen i 00’erne, da jeg skrev på bogen Har videnskaben køn? Kvinder i forskning, som udkom i 2014. Jeg fandt ud af, at Valfrid Palmgren havde været ansat på Københavns Universitet - ovenikøbet på mit institut, dengang Nordisk Filologi. Hun blev faktisk den første kvindelige ansatte lektor på Frue Plads i 1916. De
