Wired has a blog post about Bruce Alberts, the UCSF biochemist named as the next editor-in-chief of Science.

For one thing, it's not clear that Alberts will push for open access; he was part of a committee at PNAS that tried to make articles freely accessible after just two months but, when things didn't go as expected, switched back to the six-month access policy.
