This is part of a month-long Wikipedia editing campaign aims to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of women scientists, working to highlight undercovered science stories in the encyclopedia.

This event also coincides with the year-long celebration of the Academy's 200th Anniversary.

Time: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm Where: 7 World Trade Center, 40th Floor
