What Came Before Tandem
I am sitting here Thursday evening, writing on this article. At the same time, I am preparing mentally, mostly with excitement, but also a small touch of worry, for tomorrow’s Tandem Race. I really don’t know what to expect. For those of you that doesn’t know, it is a race, where you go by bus…
Beware of Truthiness!
Don’t we all have that special someone; a friend, uncle or mother- in-law, that has an answer to everything, and that are totally convinced about their own beliefs. You know it’s hard to argue against these kind of individuals and their beliefs, because not seldom are they not based on intellectual arguments or facts but…
Editorial #128
Athchomar chomakea! Summer is coming (and Jon Snow is alive). I bet all of us are having some kind of sunburn from the amazing weather Skåne has given us these past weeks, and I am so happy my freckles are starting to appear again. For me, this past schoolyear has been some what a roller…
Vice President’s Column #127
I talked to the Editor-in-Chief and asked what the theme of the chronicle was. She told me that this number of Nådiga Lundtan is inspired by the word innovation.

Alumni: Max Nilsson
In June this year, three years has passed since I stepped out from the beautiful building Universitetshuset with the sun streaming down my face as a freshly graduated Civilekonom. It is hard not to feel nostalgic when I think back on my four great years in Lund and at LUSEM, a great place to live,…
Medical 3D printing the next step
Humans are invincible, or so we would prefer to believe. Few of us entertain the idea that at some point we will age, develop a malignant tumour, or suffer lifechanging injuries. Health worries are for other people. The underlining dread that encompasses ill health is the idea that the vitality that seemed everlasting prior to…
The Innovation Powerhouse
Sweden is widely regarded as an innovations powerhouse. Even though Sweden is a small country, we have one of the world’s highest patent growth rates, some of the highest spending on research and development in Europe, and one of the world’s highest rates of trained engineers per capita. These, among other things, have been instrumental…
Light hasn’t made me more sympathetic
Last week, I missed my train home. It wasn’t a disaster, the next train was coming in just an hour; but that was all the same an undesired hour on my hands that had to be frittered away somewhere. I decided to spend it in a small, picturesque café in downtown Lund where I ordered…
