This is an exciting day at PLoS and, after having to keep my mouth shut for a couple of months about it, I am really happy to be free to announce to the world that my friend and excellent science blogger Jonathan Eisen is now officially the Academic Editor-in-Chief of PLoS Biology.
The editors have written an article that explains his role and how and why it was Jonathan who was chosen. In a separate article, Jonathan gives us a touching and thrilling story of his conversion to Open Access and his vision for the future of PLoS Biology.
You should go and congratulate him in the comments of this blog post.
