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.
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.
