From Mike Eisen on Twitter yesterday:
"I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @theonion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians."

I retweeted with this comment: "I stand with Mike. @eLife made a great move to hire him and support his creative reforms. It made a huge mistake to fire him."

@petersuber @eLife @theonion Well, at least people now know where eLife stands and can avoid it like the plague. They made their bed. Let them lie in it.
