Dear Wikimedia Community, I am excited to announce that I am starting today as the Wikipedian-in-Residence for NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a subsidiary of the CDC. NIOSH is a research institution dedicated to the prevention of illness and injury related to work, and they have a wealth of information just begging to be used by Wikimedia. Our missions are very much aligned, especially with WikiProject Medicine, and have the potential to create a huge impact worldwide. As Wikipedian-in-Residence, I will be helping to connect NIOSH and the WIkimedia communities, creating a WikiProject NIOSH, and helping to organize content on occupational health and use NIOSH's public domain resources to improve Wikimedia. I will not, in the foreseeable future, be editing anything about NIOSH itself or any of its scientists. Nevertheless, for full disclosure, I'll be placing a comprehensive COI notice on my user page and keeping a separate account (as many other WIR's do) at [[User:Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH)]] on any project I'm working on. I'm very excited to work on this project and am always happy to accept feedback. You can read more about NIOSH at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_for_ Occupational_Safety_and_Health, and see my personal userpage at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ User:Keilana. All the best, Emily Temple-Wood _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Occupational Congratulations! CDC - does that make you the Wikipedian in Residence for Ebola? ;-) I'm sure you'll do well, but please let me know if I can offer any help or advice - especially where the subject interests of NIOSH and the Royal Society of Chemistry (where I am Wikimedian in Residence) overlap. As a matter of interest, how many US federal WiRs have there been now - I know of Daniel at NARA; are there others? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Sort of - Ebola is definitely an occupational health hazard for health

people! ;) And of course, I always appreciate advice! I'm the second US Federal WIR as far as I can tell - Dominic was the

and, unless someone has been very under-the-radar (or I've had my head under a rock), NIOSH is the first federal science/technology/medicine agency with a WIR.
