In focus
Why do some neurons withstand amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) better than others? It is a question neurochemist Eva Hedlund has been pursuing since she began researching the fatal neurological disease more than two decades ago. - ### How molecules form in space
Temperatures in the thin gas and dust between the stars in the universe can be as low as minus 270 degrees Celsius. Yet new molecules can be created there. How is this possible? Henning Schmidt’s research team is attempting to understand fundamental processes behind the formation of new stars. - ### Dan Petersen awarded the Göran Gustafsson Prize
The Göran Gustafsson Prizes are the main Swedish national scientific prizes awarded to researchers who are no more than 45 years old. This year's prize in mathematics goes to professor Dan Petersen at Stockholm University. - ### Testing sustainable meals at the FIS Alpine World Cup Åre
Food for white winters is a collaboration between Stockholm Resilience Centre, SLU, Eldrimner, and local culinary innovators as part of the research programme PLATE. The project is anchored in the latest food science, reported in the EAT-Lancet. - ### We investigate how mating behaviour shapes animal evolution
Evolution is the most fascinating and complex phenomenon there is. As a biologist, it is a constant challenge to understand how evolution has shaped the extraordinary world that surrounds us. I only need to step outside my front door to be reminded of this, says John Fitzpatrick, Professor of Evolutionary Biology.
