My dear SciBling and fellow big-nose European, Bora/Coturnix, has a wonderful story to tell! After seeing an interesting job ad (regarding a position as on-line community manager for the Open Access journal publishing house Public Library of Science) he blogged about it and said he’d really like the job. In a matter of hours, a PLoS editor commented on Bora’s blog and asked if the blog entry should be considered as a formal job application — and Bora got the job! I gather what did it was a combination of his excellent blogging and the way he interacts with his many readers in the comments section.

Congratulations, Bora!
