Dear Wikimedia Community,
I am excited to announce that I am starting today as the Wikipedian-in-Residence for NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a subsidiary of the CDC. NIOSH is a research institution dedicated to the prevention of illness and injury related to work, and they have a wealth of information just begging to be used by Wikimedia. Our missions are very much aligned, especially with WikiProject Medicine, and have the potential to create a huge impact worldwide.
As Wikipedian-in-Residence, I will be helping to connect NIOSH and the WIkimedia communities, creating a WikiProject NIOSH, and helping to organize content on occupational health and use NIOSH's public domain resources to improve Wikimedia. I will not, in the foreseeable future, be editing anything about NIOSH itself or any of its scientists. Nevertheless, for full disclosure, I'll be placing a comprehensive COI notice on my user page and keeping a separate account (as many other WIR's do) at [[User:Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH)]] on any project I'm working on.
I'm very excited to work on this project and am always happy to accept feedback. You can read more about NIOSH at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_for_Occupational_Safety_and..., and see my personal userpage at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Keilana.
All the best, Emily Temple-Wood
