ONE Size Fits All: Bumper Special

Since the launch of the PLoS online store and Bora Zivkovic’s Science Online 2010 conference, we have amassed several more photos of PLoS aficionados modelling some of PLoS’s marvellous merchandise. As you can see from these photos, ONE size really does fit all!

The first photo shows PLoS Biology Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Eisen and Bora (Bora is wearing the ever-popular “hamsters love PLoS” shirt, and Jonathan’s shirt was a homemade ‘one off’ as far as we know we stand corrected, see the comment thread – Ed.). Photo credit: @ivanoransky (via Graham Steel)

Graham Steel also attended Science Online 2010, although as a virtual participant. He too opted for an item from the “hamsters love PLoS” collection; this time, a hoodie, which given the recent UK weather, is more suitable than a t-shirt. Photo credit: Graham Steel

The third photo was taken on Pete Binfield’s latest trip to Paris with his family. Pete’s daughter is wearing the PLoS ONEsie in front of some non-descript French building… Photo credit: Kim Binfield

Finally, the last photo is of me, mid-run, in Central Park on a recent trip to New York. I’m wearing the PLoS ONE first birthday t-shirt (you can see the t-shirt design better in this photo from PLoS ONE Section Editor Jason Stajich).

Today is my last day at PLoS so I won’t be blogging here any longer (although you can find me on Twitter); however, after three great years at PLoS ONE, I have amassed a fair amount of PLoS gear (including the now rare messenger bag), which will undoubtedly come with me on my travels.

For now, though, thanks for reading and goodbye!

At PLoS, we are very proud of the t-shirts (and other PLoS-branded kit) we regularly produce to give to our editorial board members and other supporters (if you would like to win one of our t-shirts, why not try entering our ongoing blog pick of the month competition?). We are always happy when we hear that our editors, authors and fans have been spreading the word far and wide by wearing their PLoS t-shirt and so we were very pleased to receive a photo from Madhu Pai wearing his “hamsters love PLoS” t-shirt, along with Nitika (Nikki) Pant Pai and their daughter, Annika, on their recent visit to Japan.

PLoS ONE AE Nikki Pant Pai, PLoS ONE SE Madhu Pai and their daughter, Annika

Madhu is the PLoS ONE Section Editor for TB and an editorial board member for PLoS Medicine and Nikki is a PLoS ONE editorial board member. Madhu and Nikki are assistant professors at McGill University in Montreal. They conduct international research on TB and HIV and are advocates of Open Access publishing. You can listen to a podcast where Madhu talks about TB and Open Access with Chris Smith (of the Naked Scientists) via the Speaking of Medicine blog. You can also read the papers Madhu has published in PLoS ONE here and those published by Nikki here.

If you have a photo of yourself wearing a PLoS t-shirt (or drinking from a PLoS mug, donning some PLoS stickers or otherwise spreading the word for us), please send them to us (rwalton [at] plos.org) and we may be able to feature your photo on this blog! Photos taken in particularly unusual, glamorous or otherwise exotic locations are particularly encouraged!
