At the Swedish Biodiversity Symposium in Gothenburg. Panel discussion on social transformation for BD conservation- from theory to practice

Greetings from (parts of) the BECC board! We are on a two-day-retreat in Höör to work intensely with our future research strategy. Grateful for all the input we've had from our members, Scientific Advisory Board and Stakeholder Reference Group!

Fresh off the press: Nanoscale Characterization of Fungal-Induced CaCO3 Precipitation: Implications for Self-Healing Concrete Very proud of J.r. Marius Tuyishime, HANBANG ZOU, and thanks for all the help Martin Obst, Karina Thanell, Dimitri Floudas, mm! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Tumbling between denial, rubbles and hope - Lund botanical garden's interactive exhibition of the Broken Greenhouses touched me deeply. Based on the UN's climate scenarios for 2100, created by MBigert and LBergström, involving amongst others my dear BECC colleague matsbjörkman. Really worth a visit!

Exciting postdoc opportunity with Milda Pucetaite and us in the Soilchip group: Become the spectroscopy expert in our multimodal fungal recognition project within our interdisciplinary VR research environment:) lu.varbi.com/what:job/job...

Lund's Sustainability Week was a lot of Soil this year! Soil microscopy at the botanical Garden and Skylle, nanoplastics, and the documentary "Planet Soil" at a pretty full KinoLund with panel discussion afterwards. Thanks a lot all wonderful people who made this all happen!:) @BECC @Soilchipgroup

Hur kan svampar bryta ner plaster? Biologiforskare @edithhammer.bsky.social medverkar i programmmet från Vetenskapsradion.

To bridge this gap, we have developed the concept of the "unit of community interactions", which brings fungal ecology and modern coexistence theory closer together. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... with @aguilart.bsky.social @edithhammer.bsky.social @mrillig.bsky.social

Listening tip (In Swedish): Varför vill svampar bryta ner människoskapade material av plast? Det och mycket annat får du svar på i detta avsnitt av Vetenskapsradion där @edithhammer.bsky.social, lektor i biologi och koordinator för BECC, dyker upp cirka 15.40 minuter in i programmet:

Wann entsteht in Solarparks ein Mehrwert für die Biodiversität? Welche Einflüsse haben die Modulkonstruktionen auf die Entwicklung wertvoller Lebensräume für Pflanzen und Tiere? Auf diese Fragen gibt es bisher kaum evidenzbasierte Antworten. (1/6)

Today is World Soil Day! It pays attention to the importance of healthy soil & the sustainable management of the resource. Meet Professor Katarina Hedlund & researcher Albert Brangarí, as they discuss how we can manage soils in agriculture to mitigate climate change: www.becc.lu.se/outreach-and...

Fresh off the press 🤩👇

STXM team at #softimax @MAXIVLaboratory So exciting to get our first spectra on a new project 🤩

We had to open the #STXM chamber and make chirurgical adjustments - Marius removed a block, losened the zone plate and moved it by hand 😱 but it worked! Fantastic team!! 💪✊😎

Come work with us🤩! Postdoc in microbial ecology – investigating soil biodiversity in different farm types in Sweden molecularly and morphologically via #soilchips – embedded in an interdisciplinary network at @BECC_sweden @LundUniversity lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Happy #ukfungusday !! 🍄☺️

What a beautiful blue sky here! Looking forward to explore:)

The short light pulse lasers Anne LHuillier and colleagues developed are so unbelievable - an attosecond is a quadrillionth of a second. The universe is a quadrillion seconds old. #nobelprize2023 #nobelprizephysics #lunduniversity news.abplive.com/science/nobe...

So so proud of Anne L'Huillier!! Two colleagues were just in the lab at NanoLund when the prize was announced, and got right into the press conference:) She developed attosecond laser pulses to study amongst others moving electrons in parts of photosynthesis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ALD...
