Where do you learn the most English in the shortest amount of time, in Sweden or Vietnam? Swedish children are better at communicating, while Vietnamese children are better at constructing correct sentences and at understanding language rules. This was the result of a study of children 11–12 years old by doctoral student Vi Thanh Son at Lund University in Sweden. “Swedish children are more free in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment.     Memory researchers and cogniti

Science has the technology to measure the activity of every gene within a single individual cell, and just one experiment can generate thousands of cells worth of data. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now revolutionised the way this data is analysed – by using 3D video gaming technology. The study is published in the journal iScience. Advanced techniques in DNA and RNA sequencing hav

We have a new name for the Astronomy Building – Universum! To me, it expresses that this will be a place where everyone in the faculty can gather, where disciplines meet, and where we feel at home, while also honouring what has always been here: astronomy.I am deeply relieved and glad we reached consensus on the name, especially as it emerged several times among the suggestions in our naming compe

PhD student Juan Antonio Samper hopes that his research some day can play a role in emancipatory causes currently happening in the territory of Putumayo, and make a difference for social life in specific places. He explores the relationship between collective identity and place, and the ways in which this relation is mobilised by different groups in the Colombian Andean-Amazonia to resist extracti

Implementing nature-based solutions requires better management and funding with clear political priorities. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which researchers from Lund University participated. Nature-based solutions to climate change and the loss of biodiversity are increasingly highlighted, most recently during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27)

For risk groups, a common cold can be life-threatening. Researchers in Lund have contributed to the development of a new biological medicinal product to treat severe asthma that is worsened by colds. The hope is that the drug will be approved in Sweden next year. Young children, the elderly and patients suffering from chronic lung disease such as asthma and COPD run an increased risk of being affl

In certain situations it is used, in others, not. We take a look at the use of the academic quarter at LUSEM today and share some background on where the tradition comes from. The classic explanation is that in times past the students did not necessarily own watches and had to rely on the church bells to know what time it was. When you heard the bells of Lund’s cathedral strike the full hour, you

Researchers at Lund University’s Lund Stem Cell Center have made a new discovery about how the human genome protects itself from disruption during critical stages of life. Their study, recently published in Nature Communications, reveals how two key defense mechanisms—DNA methylation and the HUSH complex—work together to safeguard genomic stability. The human genome contains large stretches of rep

The Research and Innovation Bill of December 2024 promised substantial new funding through a number of targeted calls for applications. At the same time, it was also decided that new core funding for research would be allocated to universities based on indicators, external grants received and the number of highly cited publications per institution. We are now beginning to see some of the results a
