A machine allowing researchers to rely on objective, automatized readouts instead of subjective manual counting under the microscope. Incredible pictures. And the possibility to follow live cellular events. The Operetta is the answer to these demands. The interest in using the new MultiPark infrastructure is big. In March, MultiPark received the new Operetta CLS instrument, upgrading the former Ce

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.

Reaction Engineering introduces third-year chemical engineering students at Lund University to the principles of reactor analysis, sizing, and design. Like other similar courses, it was traditionally taught with a heavy emphasis on theory and the derivation of mathematical equations. Students completed numerous exercises but rarely developed an intuitive understanding of the combined effects of ph
