With apologies for cross-posting, please keep reading for an invitation to
join an emergent Wikimedia Science Hub.
A group of us working at the intersection of science and Wikimedia are in
the initial stages of proposing a Science Hub for Wikimedia. We are looking
for individuals and affiliates to join the initiative. Please express your
interest in this project here:

About the Science Hub
The Wikimedia Science Hub seeks to facilitate Wikimedia activities relating
to scientific and other scholarly content from all disciplines of
systematic inquiries. In terms of knowledge domains, this includes the
natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, engineering, mathematics,
medicine and so on. On the wiki side, it includes all content, communities
and infrastructure of Wikimedia wikis as well as supporting activities
We are especially interested in the activities related to the following
three areas:

Wiki about scientific matters: This includes on-wiki content relating to
any knowledge domain, on any Wikimedia wiki, in any language. It also
includes supporting infrastructure and activities.
2.
Scientific matters about wiki: This includes scientific research and
knowledge — from any field of knowledge domain — about Wikimedia contents,
workflows, infrastructure or communities regarding any Wikimedia wiki, in
any language.
3.
Tightly interwoven wiki and scientific matters: This is about activities,
materials or processes in which the wiki aspects and the scientific aspects
are closely intertwined, e.g. because the research is both based on and
contributing to wiki matters.
We welcome updates, discussion, and questions on the meta page. Thank you
for your interest,
Matt
