Well, this is about as scammy / spammy as a journal can get ... putting me on an editorial board I did not agree to be on ...
So I got an email this AM from "Microorganisms Editorial Office "Dear Prof. Dr. Eisen,We are pleased to inform you that your information has been announced on the webpage of our journal ' s board.Please check that all of your information is correct here:https://www.mdpi.com/journal/microorganismsCool. Cool. Except I never agreed to be on their editorial board. And yet there I am on their web site.https://www.mdpi.com/journal/microorganisms/editors?page_no=3No MDPI Microoorganisms. This is not OK.
