On 18 June, Lund University Vice-Chancellor Erik Renström formally appointed Professor Charlotta Turner as Dean and Professor Karin Rengefors as Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Science for the 2027–2029 term.The appointments follow the faculty election held earlier this spring, in which faculty employees expressed their support for Charlotta Turner as Dean and Karin Rengefors as Deputy Dean. They wi
How can reflection become a natural part of teaching in the natural sciences? That is the starting point for a new workshop series designed to give teachers practical tools and support to help students develop their reflective skills – an essential component of learning and a national degree requirement. Reflection may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about science education

Isabel Vinterbladh has been Chair of the Science Doctoral Student Council (NDR) since July. With a new term of office ahead of her, she wants to strengthen NDR both as a voice for doctoral students and as a network across departmental boundaries. Before the work gets fully underway, we took the opportunity to get to know her a little better and hear more about the issues that matter most to her. T

Taking the step from senior lecturer to professor can feel like a big one. What does it actually take? Which qualifications should be highlighted, and what might need further development? This autumn, the Faculty of Science is therefore launching a new workshop series for those considering whether a professorship might be their next step. The initiative comes from Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer at

Since this summer, Anna Covaci has been the new President of LUNA, the Science Student Union. After two years studying on the Bachelor’s programme in Mathematics, and being actively involved in the student union, she has now taken a break from her studies to work full-time as President. We asked Anna a few questions about her new role, the issues she cares about and what she hopes to contribute du
