Since February, Professor Glyn Williams has been working with us. We were curious about who Glyn is and what his research is about, so we decided to ask him a few questions to get to know him a little better. Hi, Glyn! And welcome to Lund University. Which university did you recently come from?– Thank you! I came from University of Sheffield, where I worked from 2006, having previously held posts

Teaching is to be as highly valued as research when it comes to appointments and promotions. Despite this ambition, it has rarely worked that way in practice. A recently completed project provides a new framework which will help faculty managements, as well as individual teaching staff members, to evaluate and develop educational qualifications. In the ‘Pedagogisk Meritering’ project, which concer

According to a travel survey conducted last autumn, better public transport and secure bicycle parking at the workplace are the main measures needed to reduce car commuting. There are also differences in travel patterns between faculties. "The travel survey provides a valuable insight into the commuters’ wishes on what can facilitate sustainable travel in their everyday lives. Now we can weave thi

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap
