I am thrilled to share with you that Consumer Reports, a longtime and highly respected U.S.-based non-profit, has this week appointed Lane Rasberry as its first Wikipedian in Residence, as part of an initiative to improve the public's access to accurate information about medical tests and procedures. We expect a formal announcement from Consumer Reports within the next two weeks; but Lane will be beginning his outreach work to Wikipedians and others in the medical field in the meantime.
Lane is active in Wikipedia editing and outreach, with a focus on clinical research ethics and open science. Lane's skills, experience, and passions will be a great asset to both Wikipedia and Consumer Reports; please join me in extending a warm welcome to him!
(While Consumer Reports is of course not a GLAM, the program drew very heavily on GLAM programs, so I think the readers on this list should be among the first to know!)

Interesting. In what way do you all think that things can be learned from having a noted expert editing or perhaps just organizing people to edit in Wikipedia?
This partnership seems ripe with potential yet encumbered by some natural WP road blocks.

Concratulations to Lane!
Richard, one of my pet peeves about Wikipedia is the lack of interwiki links in medical articles. I tried to get some cooperation from the World Health Organization to have them release their ICD-10 codes and descriptions in 36 languages, but no luck. Sadly, I think the WHO is deeply embedded in old, hierarchical organizational structures that don't allow for an open-access mindset. In this day of high mobility, getting information to people when they need it in the language they need it may save lives. That is just one example where wikification might help organizations to achieve their original mission, but there are many, many more.

Congratulations Lane and welcome again to Barbara!
Barbara, I have suggested before that an update-able map of current and past Wikipedians in Residence is a high need task. I do not have the technical know-how to do such things, and I'm happy for anyone to take this on.
Thanks for requesting it : )
