Giving up research has never been an option for Ronald Kröger, professor in biology with a specialisation in fish lenses and dog noses. “I conduct research with all of my heart!” He is, however, at least as dependent on his brain – and it has really suffered. It is nearly five years since the Saturday morning when Ronald Kröger woke up and thought he was getting a cold or flu. It did not stop him

It is still unclear how much students and staff will be on campus in the autumn, but a gradual return is being planned. Discussions are also being held as to whether technical and administrative staff will be able to continue working from home after the pandemic.

Workhorse Philip Warkander became Sweden’s first PhD graduate in Fashion Studies. He describes research in a new subject as continuously doubting – an approach he also applies to the academic community’s focus on hard work. Moving around as a researcher, he noticed one day that he had fallen into the classic man-trap – friends and interests beyond work had been lost. When LUM meets fashion studies

A desire to be able to freely carry out research and the chance to provide her daughter with a good education led Pinar Dinc to leave Turkey. It is a journey that is not over yet.

Covid-19 turned parts of the ordinary research process upside down. Economist Erik Wengström is among those who have studied Swedes’ behaviour during the pandemic from the centre of events. But the current funding system risks putting a spanner in the works.
