The New York Academy of Sciences is excited to welcome new and experienced Wikipedians to join us for our second annual Women In Science Edit-a-thon, taking place Saturday, November 12, 2016, 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm in New York City. This month-long Wikipedia editing campaign aims to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of women scientists, working to highlight undercovered science stories in the encyclopedia. This event also coincides with the year-long celebration of the Academy's 200th Anniversary.
With this effort we're also supporting the Wikipedia:Year of Science, WikiProject Women in Red, and WikiProject Women scientists.
Everyone is welcome to participate live on November 12 or virtually throughout the month of November.
Learn more about our 2015 edit-a-thon here.
Thank you to the Wikimedia Foundation for supporting this event.
