Current research shows that today’s 70-year-olds are in many respects like the 50-year-olds of the 1970s, but how come? What is a blue zone and why are there so many 100-year-olds in Vittsjö, Sweden?

Alumna's life turned into a Hollywood film

On the Basis of Sex is the title of a film about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who studied at Lund University in the 1960s. The film depicts a young mother who works as a lawyer, struggling in a world completely dominated by men. When Ruth and her husband, Marty, take on a groundbreaking case, she knows that it will forever change how the courts and the USA regard gender discrimination.
