@trinsec I'd say yes: Michael Eisen is one of the founders of the open access scientific journal publisher PLoS (Public Library of Science), and, when he realized the establishment of academic editors and powerful senior figures wouldn't yield from the initial shake up (setting up as open access was a big deal back then), he left, and is now the editor in chief of #eLife, a scientific journal founded by three major science funding agencies (Wellcome Trust in the UK, Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the US, and the Max Planck Society in Germany) intent on disrupting scientific publishing as we know it, and succeeding, for which it's getting a lot of flack for it.

@mbeisen has responded openly to a massive barrage of dismissive, often downright offensive comments by those afraid that the status quo as we know it is being challenged–which is precisely the point. Quite the moment in scientific publishing, but one that shall pass, and the valley on the other side looks greener.

@albertcardona Ah neat! In that case,

Welcome to the Fediverse, @mbeisen !
