Join ZSL in a one-day Wikipedia editathon dedicated to improving the Wikipedia pages of key women in zoology and natural history. There will be practical training in how to edit a wikipedia page, support and resources on-hand to make editing easier, and we’ve even lined up a team of experts to talk about these fantastic women and to lend their expertise. There will also be a unique opportunity to visit the ZSL library and tour the zoo itself to hear about some of the women associated with ZSL from the early days and to see some historic resources by these women! This event is open to those new to Wikipedia and to experienced contributors. Female editors are especially encouraged to attend. Help us improve the visibility of a host of forgotten women in science!

Refreshments will be provided.
