Women in STEM Edit-a-thon
• Surveys show that women make up
only 8.5 - 16% of Wikipedia editors;
as a result, articles about women
tend to be few and far between

where we conduct research on
prominent women in STEM and help
improve their Wikipedia pages
• Date and location TBD
• Contact Sarah at
smschlossberg@ucsd.edu to help
with planning
