Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Small edits. Big visibility

@BioPartner Leiden

6 March 2026 | BioPartner, Leiden | 13:00 – 17:00

Why this matters

Right now, only about one in five biographies are about women. In STEM, the gap is even wider, especially for gender-diverse people. If it’s missing from Wikipedia, it’s probably missing from how science is remembered, cited and increasingly trained into AI systems.

So let’s fix some of this. Together.

What we’ll do

Spend an afternoon editing Wikipedia pages about women and gender-diverse people in STEM.

No experience needed. Just curiosity.
