Hi everyone, On Sunday 2nd November Wikimedia Ireland will hold it's second editathon. We are being kindly hosted once again by the Science Gallery, where we will be hard at work from 2-5pm. So in honour of Ada Lovelace Day, we are looking to add, improve and expand upon articles on Irish Women in STEM (and related fields). You find all the details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ireland/Women_in_STEM_E… If you can come along in person, or lend a hand virtually, we would love to work with you. Thanks, Rebecca -- PhD candidate University of Hull - Media & Memory Research Initiative <http://www2.hull.ac.uk/fass/mamri.aspx> Member of Wikimedia Ireland Community <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ireland_Community>
