Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De

Life can feel a little overwhelming in the times we live where society is less homogenous, and individualism prevails although many of our challenges require cooperation between different interests, ideologies, and countries. Human beings need to feel meaning, hope and motivation to overcome difficulties and to find new solutions. Therefore, we need to understand more about existential sustainabil

The COP climate meetings are organised in a way that benefits richer and larger countries at the expense of smaller and poorer countries, according to a new study from LUCSUS and the University of Leeds. The study also labels the participating countries as either Radicals, Opportunists, Hypocrites or Evaders. Every year, the UN organises its global climate change Conference of the Parties, “COP”,

The climate issue is one of the biggest global societal challenges of our time. Research on where the climate is heading is an important part of that work, both to monitor the impact of emission reductions agreed between countries worldwide in Paris 2015, but also to be better prepared for the elements of climate change we will not be able to avoid. A climate model developed by researchers from Lu

Is it possible that a tiny pollen dredged up from a European lake can hold answers about both our past and our future? Researchers at Lund University use pollen as old as 12 000 years to predict our future climate, and to study ecological and historical change. Researchers Esther Githumbi and Johan Lindström use pollen from the ice age to the present to inform vegetation models and find crucial an

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ

Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell? In order to take high resolution microscopic images of living biological material, you need to know exactly where to point the microscope. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a software solution for smart, data-driven microscopy, which mak

Forests have long been seen as a sink for greenhouse gases. Research conducted by scientists from University of Gothenburg has shown that over a forest rotation of 80 years, forest production on drained peat soil is a large source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
