AU is setting all thermostats at 21 degrees Celsius to reduce its climate footprint

From now on, Aarhus University will set the heat at 21 degrees in all buildings during the autumn and winter months. This is part of the university's efforts to reduce its climate footprint.

The image shows the number of cattle per hectare in Denmark in 1898 and 2018, respectively. This data shows that over around a century, cattle farming moved from fertile soils in the east to more sandy - and cheaper - soils in the west. This type of GIS data is being used in the AU ProvenanceDK project, for example, the aim of which is to understand and promote local produce.

Artificial intelligence dives into thousands of WW2 photographs

In a new international cross disciplinary study, researchers have used artificial intelligence to analyse large amounts of historical photos from WW2. Among other things, the study shows that artificial intelligence can recognise the identity of photographers based on the content of photos taken by them.

No equality without powerful connections

Can we learn from universities abroad who try to break down the 'boys’ club culture' that prevents equality from penetrating the professors' offices? Meet two female Health researchers from DANWISE, who call for active support and better data on the conditions we want to change.

The research was carried out in a collaboration between researchers from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital: In the front row are the two first authors of the scientific article in EMBO Reports (from left): Louise Dalskov and Michelle Møhlenberg.

Why are some COVID-19 infected people asymptomatic?

Immune cells in the lungs do not recognise the virus that produces COVID-19, as the virus may hide its genomic material. As a result the cells' immune system against the virus is not activated, and this may help explain why some people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic.

Why are some COVID-19 infected people asymptomatic?

Immune cells in the lungs are important for the immune system's recognition and fight against viruses. However, the virus that produces COVID-19 is not recognised by these cells, as the virus may hide its genomic material, and as a result the cells' immune system against the virus is not activated. This may help explain why some people with…

Brain damage following infections can be reduced

Our brains are very sensitive to infections, and a research group from Aarhus University has found a new mechanism which reduces damage to the brain following infections. Viral infections in the brain activate its immune system, and this is necessary to fight the infections – but at the same time, the immune system is often the cause of…
