Abstract: In this proceedings we discuss the natural connection between the reduction of neutral pion mass in the vacuum, and the magnetic catalysis as well as the reduction of transition temperature in the external magnetic field. We also present the first results on fluctuations of and correlations among conserved charges in strong magnetic fields from lattice QCD computations.<br />Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, Invited talk in the online Workshop on Criticality in QCD and Hadron Resonance Gas, July 29-31, 2020, Wroclaw, Poland, to be published in the proceedings
