There is a change in the command center of PLoS ONE this month. The transition will be seamless. The new editor, Peter Binfield has joined us a couple of weeks ago and has assumed the Big Kahuna position on the 1st of April. The outgoing editor, Chris Surridge will remain in advisory role for the remainder of the month. I am excited to see them both next week in Cambridge, so we can start plotting the strategy to take over the world together (over a Guinness or two, I hope). And, perhaps important to those who complain that ONE is too biologically oriented, Peter is a physicist, so you know we have never abandoned the mission of ONE to be a place for papers in ALL areas of science.
