Wikipedia edit-a-thon brings women scientists out of the shadows bit.ly/Vce3NL #WomenSciWP
This just got real. There’s a Wikipedia/Ada Lovelace Day CAKE at #womensciWP http://pic.twitter.com/gIRO9Hwq
Ever since Ada Lovelace, women scientists have been undervalued. Time for a Wikipedia editathon. @RSoclive #WomenSciWP bit.ly/QwvFnC
Holmes: French Academy of Sciences still wouldn't allow Marie Curie to be a fellow in 1911, after she won her 2nd Nobel #WomensciWP
#WomenSciWP apparently Hildegard von Bingen has just been made a Dr of the Church by Vatican. Making up for Galileo! bit.ly/2ZTLR1- Holmes: Vatican made 12C scientist Hildegard of Bingen a Doctor of the Church. "I think they're making up for Galileo." #WomensciWP
Have added to and updated @Wikipedia entry on Hertha Marks Ayrton, a personal heroine of mine! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertha_Ma… #WomenSciWP #histsci
"The weekend is coming up … take some time to edit some articles! See bit.ly/wiki-ada " Daria Cybulska at #WomenSciWP- Cybulska: Still many articles could be written; there's a big list here for people who want to chip in: bit.ly/wiki-ada #WomensciWP
- Cybulsa: Why so few women on Wikipedia? Many ideas. Less free time? But inspiring to see women editing at the RS today #womensciWP
- Sitting at #WomenSciWP next to Maev Kennedy (!) just found her article for @guardian guardian.co.uk/science/2012/o…
- "Women need women role models more than men need male role models" at #WomenSciWP panel discussion at @royalsociety
- #WomenSciWP discussion kicking off with the suggestion that more female scientific role models in #Wikipedia will encourage others to join
- (@Suw, incidentally, is the awesome founder of Ada Lovelace Day. She knows of what she speaks.) #womensciWP
- Daria Cybulska from Wikimedia UK: Wikipedia v.inspiring but female-related topics not well represented + not many female editors #womensciWP
- . @suw: Ada Lovelace day is about creating role models, just by talking about women who have done great things. #womensciWP
In light of the #WomenSciWP today, have you seen these Women in Chemistry videos from @ChemHeritage yet? Worth a watch. chemheritage.org/discover/onlin…- . @suw - Ada Lovelace Day has grown from a day of blogging to many indep events around the world from Colombia to Canada. #womensciWP
