About this listen

 Two Guys One Paper is about promoting the work of early career researchers in sustainability-related fields while helping to demystify the publication process and science dissemination. In each episode researchers Tom Elliot and Furqan Asif chat with someone who has recently published one of their first academic peer-reviewed papers and we focus on discussing three questions with them:
  • What’s their paper about?
  • Were there any weird mishaps during the process?
  • And what tips they offer to other rookies looking to publish their work?

    In our sixth episode and season finale of Two Guys One Paper, we had the pleasure of talking with Leire Retegui Schiettekatte before she headed off to the 2025 EGU General Assembly. Leire is a PhD student in the Geodesy research group at Aalborg University and recently won the EliteForsk travel grant. She told us about her research field and the contribution of her latest paper, which is one of several but the first in her PhD. This can be found in the Science of the Total Environment journal and is titled “Assessing daily GRACE Data Assimilation during flood events of the Brahmaputra River Basin”. Among many insights she offers, we heard about her engagement with peer-review, and a funny anecdote about a potential AI reviewer.

    For the fifth episode of Two Guys One Paper, we distracted Matthew (Matt) Howells as he approached his PhD thesis submission. Matt has published several papers already, including one as first author during his previous role. However, in this episode we discussed his most recent paper, the first of his PhD dissertation. This can be found in the Housing Studies journal and is titled The neoliberalization of housing policy and social housing provision in the Nordics: convergence or continued variegation? Matt is now a postdoc in the Planning for Urban Sustainability research group at Aalborg University, and at the time of release he is preparing for his PhD defence in June.

    Mar 27 2025
    In our fourth episode of Two Guys One Paper, we had a coffee with Maria Risager Nielsen and she told us about her master thesis, which she spent doing participatory research in Greenland. This resulted in an article in the Études/Inuit Studies journal titled Impacts of Climate Change on Youth’s Place Attachment: A Case Study of Tasiilaq, East Greenland. She also talked about this in the context of ongoing decolonization discourse. Maria is currently a research assistant in the Danish Centre for Environmental Assessment research group at Aalborg University, and is working on social impact assessment and gender in relation to energy and mining projects.
