Rachel, 

Nice work! I look forward to (hopefully) hearing a recording. You don't necessarily need to talk about my work, but if anyone shows up interested in science/research and/or agriculture, please send them my way. Related editing has been pretty broad, but for the most part our events (and my editing) revolve around equity issues/agricultural legal topics and representation on Wikipedia (mostly editing about past BIPOC USDA folks & scientists, and issues that affect communities of color - I wrote the article on Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young (recently appointed Under Secretary of Research, Education, and Economics) Our events cover issues like land loss, heirs' property, nutrition security, etc; we try to have experts and researchers come in to share their work, but also useful tools, and research for lay people/general public. 

Have fun in Ireland and take care!
Jamie

Hello WREN friends,

 

I’ve mentioned that I’m doing a lightning talk on why WiRs should edit Wikipedia. I mention the work of Mary Mark Ockerbloom, John P. Sadowski, and Ji Yun Alex Jung, as well as the recent Smithsonian intern Mia Cariello.

 

Please let me know if:

  1. You are mentioned and you would like me to
    1. not mention you or
    2. use a different example of your work.
  2. You would like me to mention your work (I’m looking for examples that help fill some of the knowledge gaps identified by WMF).
  3. You have other comments.

 

You can see my draft here.
