Academic writing

Back in July, I submitted an abstract for a co-authored book chapter that went on to be accepted for publication with Routledge in an edited volume entitled Ideology and Environmental Politics: Rethinking Sustainability. Since July, Jon and I have agreed that I will take the lead as single author and, over the last week, I have more or less been glued to my laptop screen. As the week now draws to an end, I find myself with a 7,000-word manuscript ready for submission which feels incredible as I have a long list of other things I need to do before Christmas.

Sourdough bakery

To my great joy, I stumbled upon a sourdough bakery called “Bärlin” just around the corner from my new apartment. Obviously, I had to stop for some bread and an extraordinarily tasty lussekatt–cinnamon bun crossover that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

In print

To briefly follow up on my previous post, I am happy to report that my new article “Biofuel bottlenecks and synthetic fuels: Leveraging aviation for global climate action” is now in print and published online as open access. Feel free to read and learn how the aviation sector can go from climate villain to climate hero!

Biofuel bottlenecks

In January this year, I learned that I had received my first major research grant together with my colleagues here in Halmstad. As part of this three-year project, I began working on a manuscript entitled “Biofuel bottlenecks and synthetic fuels: Leveraging aviation for global climate action”, which I managed to submit in early October. Six weeks later, encouraging reviewer feedback landed in my inbox and, after a few revisions, I was thrilled to receive a formal acceptance e-mail this morning.

Normally, it would then take at least a couple of weeks if not months before the proofs appear. But in the exact opposite of the drawn-out publishing drama that I endured with my previous article back in August, I was genuinely stunned to find a PDF with the proofs waiting for me as soon as I returned the rental car. And so, to top up the fish tacos from August, I am ending this Monday with a High North classic: moose meatballs with that glass of Ceniciento from coastal Chile.
