It's official! The Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has a Wikipedian in Residence...and it's a woman! They told me it's official, and encouraged me to share the news (it's not online yet).
This marks, as far as I know, the third woman Wikipedian in Residence in the US! I'm so pleased. She's active in some great women's history projects too:

I'm so pleased with this decision! I know she has interested in doing women's history stuff in relation to chemistry - so yay, more work for WikiProject Women scientists :) I'm hoping I can get her to join this list!

I've already left her a note about WikiProject Women Scientists. What fantastic news! (Incidentally, I've proposed a talk at Wikimania about the project if anyone's interested in joining in. :D)

I just thought I'd share it with you - an infographics on women nerds heros - maybe we could create one on women in Wikipedia?
