Well, I guess it is official now so I should post about it here. As for this afternoon, I am now the new Academic Editor in Chief of PLoS Biology. To read more about this new role of mine go to the source. I will probably cross post the editorial here at some later point.

Congratulations Jonathan. If anyone can bring open access to the masses it’s you. Open access is an idea whose time has definitely come. I know how annoyed and frustrated I get when I don’t have access to the online version of a journal article. Keep up the good work.
