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.
