Hello everyone,

I thought you might be interested to read this excellent blog post by Nuša Farič of UCL. Along with Henry Potts, she has conducted a piece of research into the editors of Wikipedia's health and medical content. 

Their findings are very interesting indeed. I will be sharing this with some health journalists to see if I can generate some interest in the story, too.

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
