I'm giving a workshop on the state of my WiR work on Tuesday at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 10 to 1 pm. This is an internal event there, but I have learned just now that there are places available.
The title is "Wikidata and ScienceSource: open critical bibliography for medicine on the Semantic Web". It assumes no prior knowledge of Wikidata, but as you'd expect from the venue will have a slant towards tropical diseases, more particularly neglected tropical diseases. New software will be shown. I think it would be a reasonable introduction to both Wikidata and WikiCite, and what sort of traction they are getting. It is hosted by a librarian at the LSHTM.
If you'd like to attend, please let me know offlist, by Monday morning. Happy to answer questions about the programme.

Hi Charles, is there any kind of event page which I can share on social media?
