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!

The fallout of the Pepsigate scandal continues.
Bora's recent relative blogging silence left me with a bad feeling, an ominous feeling. A feeling like the other shoe was about to drop.
Bora Zivcovic has just accomplished the impossible.
OK, skeptics, listen up! Bora's set to host the 33rd Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle over at Science and Politics on next Thursday, April 27.
It's a new world!
Thank you.
Why have no science fiction writers anticipated anything like this? Answer: no imagination.
