VIRUS Bird flu can infect both cows and humans. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a tool that can predict where and when the risk of infection is highest.

Theology The Bible contains far more exciting, brutal, and meaningful stories than those most children - and adults - know from traditional children's Bibles. In collaboration with his wife, Associate Professor Frederik Poulsen from the Faculty of Theology has written a book featuring alternative biblical stories.

WOMEN'S HEALTH Many women lack sufficient knowledge about menopause, which has long been an under-prioritized topic. A leaflet and a new knowledge hub from the research initiative Women in Healthy Transition (KiSO) at the University of Copenhagen aim to help women gain an overview and understand this phase of life.

Animals A horse's whinny is an unusually distinctive mix of sounds including both high and low frequencies.

Crisis volunteering A portion of the population is ready to take action when crisis hits and others need help. According to researchers from the Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen, these individuals make up a civilian emergency corps of volunteers. But they are not necessarily the same volunteers you know from traditional associations such as your local sports club.

Psychology Pregnant women react more positively than non pregnant women when exposed to audio recordings, videos, and images of infants. This suggests that pregnancy mentally prepares women to process infant signals, according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen and the Psychiatric Centre Copenhagen.

Wetlands Contrary to expectations, wetlands do not need to be completely flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit. Instead, the water table should be below the soil surface and remain stable, according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen. The greenhouse gas methane and microorganisms in the soil are "a game changer".

AI AI-powered clinical documentation was meant to streamline work at Danish hospitals. But in practice, doctors are spending valuable hours correcting mistakes, training algorithms, and handling administrative tasks that used to be managed by medical secretaries, according to new research from the University of Copenhagen.

Psychology People with high scores on the so-called Dark Factor of Personality have significantly less interest in social and creative jobs. This is shown by new research from the Copenhagen Center for Social Data Science (SODAS) and the Department of Psychology.

Nightlife Young people - especially women - increasingly fear being drugged, and the phenomenon is more widespread and complex than previously assumed. This is shown in a new report from the Criminological Observatory at the University of Copenhagen.

Climate New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), causing temperatures to fluctuate between hot and cold for thousands of years. The study contributes missing pieces to our understanding of what could cause Northern Europe's radiator to shut down.

Archaeology Using advanced machine-learning and climate models, researchers have shown that the ancestors of crops like wheat, barley, and rye probably were much less widespread in the Middle East 12,000 years ago than previously believed. This challenges traditional assumptions about the geography of early plant domestication and agriculture.

DECISIONS New research from the University of Copenhagen, INSERM and Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research shows that the brain in mice works in separate channels at the same time, when they respond to emotionally significant stimuli. The research helps us better understand how the brain can quickly react to what is important.

Law As a rule, municipalities can't say much about foreign policy. But there are exceptions to that rule. A new research article from the Faculty of Law looks at where the line is drawn for municipalities when it comes to the wider world.
