Did you know that only 16% of biographical Wikipedia entries tagged as scientists are of women? To celebrate Black History Month in February and Women’s History Month in March, WChE invites you to our Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon on Wednesday March 1, 5:00-7:00pm PT. Help us build on Wikipedia articles about BIPOC and female scientists!

Everyone is welcome to this event, and no editing experience is required. We provide an easy-to-follow instruction page for everyone to quickly get started. We recommend that you spend a few minutes setting up an account before the event.

We will send the zoom info (for those who can't participate in person), wiki-editing instruction page, and potential topics for editing to all those who register. You will have the opportunity to work in small groups on individual articles!
