Why we’re editing women scientists onto Wikipedia
And here’s why you should, too, say Jess Wade and Maryam Zaringhalam.
By
Jess Wade
Jess Wade is a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London who works on organic light-emitting diodes and sensors. She is a member of 500 Women Scientists , working to make science open, inclusive and accessible by changing the face of what a scientist looks like. Twitter: @jesswade
Maryam Zaringhalam
Maryam Zaringhalam is an AAAS science & technology policy fellow in Washington DC. She is a member of 500 Women Scientists , working to make science open, inclusive and accessible by changing the face of what a scientist looks like. Twitter: @webmz
Marie Curie is one of the most famous women in science. But her first page on Wikipedia was shared with her husband — until someone pointed out that, perhaps, her scientific contributions were notable enough to warrant her own biography .
