Forskare tror att månens ljus signalerar till korallerna att det är dags. En ny studie i Proceedings of the Royal Society B visar att månljuset även påverkar däggdjurens aktivitet i mörka tropiska skogar. Bilder från kamerafällor avslöjar att s

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours

För att få en uppfattning om någon ljuger studerar man ofta hur personen talar. Ny forskning tyder på att det kan vara lovande att också undersöka hur någon skriver. Detta enligt Kajsa Gullberg, forskare i allmän språkvetenskap, som hoppas att hennes avhandling kan ge insikter i människans komplexa språkförmåga. Kajsa Gullbergs forskning visar att sanningshalten i det man skriver kan påverka hur s
