PLoS ONE

I recently became the Section Editor for Infectious Diseases at PLoS ONE. While I've been an academic editor there since pretty close to the beginning, I'm really excited to take on this new role. Infectious diseases is already one of the largest article categories at PLoS ONE, and as a medical and scientific field with truly global reach, it is one that can benefit most from the open access model of publishing. I'm still getting the feel of my new role, but soon I hope to start collecting advice from friends and colleagues to help me grow the profile of PLoS ONE as a place where people submit and publish the best infectious diseases research.
