Gabriel Börner preferred playing pinball to studying at upper secondary school and therefore failed to get into a medical programme. Today, he is a senior consultant in surgery at Helsingborg Hospital and a researcher at Lund University. He has invented a “sewing machine” to suture patient’s wounds after abdominal surgery. Although the journey there was longer than he could ever have imagined, he

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t. It is an eminently human reality, filtered through our eyes. The visual world of animals shows different realities”, says Dan-Eric Nilsson. Almost 40 years have passed since Dan-Eric Nilsson arrived in Lund from Gothenburg as a doctoral studen

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc

Several of the Faculty's departments will elect a new department board this year. It is a long process that is preceded by nominations and elections to a nomination committee. In parallel, the process of appointing a new Head of Department is also ongoing. But what does the board do and why is it important to participate in the process? Here is what our Heads of department say. Why is it important

Living with bipolar disorder means constantly balancing between extremes – something that can be particularly difficult if the diagnosis is met with silence and stigmatisation. To raise awareness of mental illness and why it concerns us all, including at work, five LTH departments have joined forces and invited speaker Henrik Wahlström. In his lecture, he shares his own experiences of bipolar diso

Emma Kritzberg tog tåget till ett möte på Mallorca. En resa som varade i 54 timmar och kostade mer än dubbelt så mycket som om hon valt att flyga till Medelhavsön på några timmar. Ändå var flyget aldrig ett alternativ. De senaste sex åren har hon varken flugit i tjänsten eller privat, ett medvetet beslut för att minimera klimat­påverkande utsläpp. Emma Kritzberg, professor vid Biologiska instituti
