Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my Birthday. I'm entering a prime of life, although I'm not going to tell you which one. I only mention this because PLoS ONE [1] has given me an extra special gift. This day, my birthday as I may have mentioned, we accepted for publication our 1,000th paper.

You will all have to wait a few more weeks to see my present but I can tell you that it is authored by one of the PLoS ONE Editorial Board [2] and has the kind of highly rigorous mathematical analysis that particularly appeals to me.

Not sure how they arranged to accept the 1,000th paper on my birthday (2:30 a.m. my time in fact) but for this, and everything, my unreserved thanks go out to the PLoS ONE team of Lindsay [3], Bonnie [4], Rebecca [5], Tessa [6] (who made brownies) and Sharon [7]; not forgetting Emma [8] and Sarah [9] who particularly care for clinical trials; the PLoS ONE Editorial Board [10] for their tireless work; and everyone in PLoS [11].

Thanks guys, you're special.

Chris
