Hi folks,
Now that we have entered the "second wintah" phase of Boston springtime, what more cosy indoor activity to do than editing Wikipedia? I'm passing along details of this edit-a-thon happening on Saturday - all are welcome.
Join 500 Women Scientists, Harvard Microbial Sciences Initiative, and Harvard Museum of Natural History on Saturday, March 20th at 12:00 pm ET for a collaborative Wikipedia edit-a-thon to increase representation for women and non-binary researchers leading in the microbial sciences. Learn how to edit Wikipedia to improve and create pages that recognize and honor the achievements of these outstanding scholars.

Registration and meeting link for training -- March 20th, 12 noon ET : https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEufumurjIsE907Jrr8sgXgPrTtAUY3VI7c
Also, if you are new, they ask that you create an account ahead of time, and there are links to trainings and suggested articles in need of work on the dashboard.
best, Phoebe
