Editors work hard

The Women In Science @ New York Academy of Sciences edit-a-thon, launched Sunday, November 22, 2015, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm in New York City, was a weeklong Wikipedia editing campaign, to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of women scientists, working to highlight undercovered science stories in the encyclopedia.

Working globally with WikiProject Women in Red (supporting the online campaign running from November 8 to 29) and the resource lists of WikiProject Women scientists!

Due to limited space, the in person aspect of the edit-athon will primarily be for New York Academy of Sciences members.
