Although women and non-binary persons are under-represented in ocean sciences, their accomplishments are even less represented, in both print media and online. Help us bridge this digital gender gap in ocean sciences! Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation – is partnering with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO for a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.
This is a hybrid event that will take place both in person at the Ingenium Centre in Ottawa, Canada, and virtually. Registration is required for either option.
Join the event on February 22nd (10:00 EST) to edit, add, or translate Wikipedia entries for women and non-binary individuals in ocean science.
A crash course on Wikipedia editing will be provided, and in turn, you are asked to edit for a good cause.
WHEN: Saturday, February 22 at 10 AM EST.
