Good question! I had to think about that. I was 26. I wrote an article for a science journal about the plankton that live in Windermere, in the English Lake District.

Matthew – for me I was about the same age. My initial publications came from my PhD research in Geology which I finished when I was around 25, and got the papers published over the next few years.

My first publication as the lead author was at 28, soon after my PhD. I had a couple publications as co-author earlier, during my PhD.

My first publication was last October following my Masters research, I was 23. It’s about surface runoff dynamics in semi-arid landscapes like South Portugal.

I was 25 for a first author publication, although based on work I started when I was 21, so third year Undergraduate. However I had quite a quite a difficult review process for this particular paper…

I published my first scientific paper when I was 34 which was the results of my MSc project. I had previously had magazine articles published when I was 30, and I once got a letter about bee orchids in the local paper when I was a teenager!

25, my undergraduate thesis analysis work completed 2 years prior to publication contributed towards the published paper, therefore I was a co-author.

As a secondary school student I used to assist with wildlife surveys on the Isle of Wight and we would publish our results in the Natural History Society newsletter – I found that so exciting. I published my first peer-reviewed scientific paper when I was about 27 – it was about ladybird feeding behaviour…lots of hours of watching ladybirds choose from a selection of different types of prey.

I was 27 when I first published and that was in the 2nd year of my PhD. I wrote an article about the status of solid waste management in Lahore which was one of my case study cities in my PhD and also the one I was born in.

I was 21 when I first got published! My publication came from a project I did in my 3rd year of my studies and it was so cool to get a publication from my undergraduate degree!

As I worked in industry when I was in my 20’s my work was not published. I started a PhD when I was nearly 50 and that is when I first published. That is really old I suspect!
