Professor Martin Karplus, one of the three 2013 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, will visit Umeå University on Friday 13 December to give a lecture on his groundbreaking research. His visit to Umeå University is due to the fact that one of his former postdoctoral students now works in Umeå.

New cancer treatments require good prior characterization of the tumour. Today, molecular diagnostics is time-consuming work, and important knowledge is still lacking when it comes to how drugs should best be used for individual patients. Scientists at the Science for Life Laboratory in Uppsala and Stockholm have now developed a new technique for discovering mutations in cancer tissues. The study is now published in Oncotarget.
Finally! The expression may be overused but it is not out of place when it comes to summarising the feelings at Stockholm University after the inauguration of the new student building, Studenthuset. Studenthuset is now ready to receive both Stockholm University's 67,000 students and the general public. On 19 September, the Student House officially inaugurated by Governor Chris Heister.
Human beings have affected virtually the entire environment of the earth, and the Baltic Sea has been impacted especially hard by toxic emissions and eutrophication in the last few decades. Animals that live in highly polluted environments can either die out locally or adapt and survive. In a new dissertation in natural science, Emma Lind, of Stockholm University and Södertörn University, shows that the three-spined stickleback fish have developed genetically in a short time in response to the environmental impact of humans.
Young teenagers who play a lot of violent video games show blunted physiological and emotional responses to playing violent games, according a study from Stockholm University published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. After a gaming session, sleep, heart rate and emotional reactions were less affected among boys who are highly exposed to violent video games as compared to boys with low exposure.
Particulate air pollution from incomplete combustion is affecting climate over East Asia more than carbon dioxide and cause premature deaths of over half a million annually in China alone, yet its sources have been poorly understood.
