Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
You're invited to attend the 500 Women Scientists Edit-a-thon this

transform the idea of what a scientist looks like, online and IRL. Please
join us to learn more about the contributions of trailblazing women
scientists while editing the Wikipedia pages they deserve.
Date: Saturday, June 2nd
Time: 2PM - 5PM
Location: Caveat (21A Clinton Street on the Lower East Side)
RSVP + Details:
http://caveat.nyc/event/500-women-scientists-wikipedia-edit-a-thon/
This event is part of the Underground Science Festival, which offers
subversive science comedy, unconventional deep dives into the failures that
drive science, and introductions to the unsung and forgotten science heroes
who should have gotten credit all along. Check it out at caveat.nyc/USF
I look forward to editing with you soon!
