The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

In a tumour, cancer cells grow and multiply in an uncontrolled manner. However, the cancer cells also need help from other, normal cells for the tumour to develop. This network of ‘helper cells’ is the focus of Kristian Pietras’ research. Two years ago, Kristian Pietras left Karolinska Institutet for Lund, attracted by the opportunity to establish an entirely new research group at Medicon Village.

Despite creative efforts to tackle it, belief in conspiracy theories, alternative facts and fake news show no sign of abating. This is clearly a huge problem, as seen when it comes to climate change, vaccines and expertise in general – with anti-scientific attitudes increasingly influencing politics. So why can’t we stop such views from spreading? My opinion is that we have failed to understand th

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces.
