Wikipedia is probably the best thing on Earth after sunsets, but it’s still far from perfect. Some articles are quite amazing, but oftentimes article about science topics or science personalities are nowhere near where they should be, and it seems that researchers should spend more time trying spread knowledge. Unfortunately, two things are in the way: the writers never get credit for it, and it’s bad optics in science to be the judge of notoriety for others.<\/p>\n

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Recently I became aware of an effort to improve the representation of scientists on Wikipedia<\/a>, which is the go-to place to look up someone and evaluate their authority \u2013 in a world when men seems to preternaturally commend more than women. Let’s fix this!<\/p>\"\"<\/a><\/p>Here’s a few people for who I have started a page (I’ll keep this list updated as I go \u2013 yes, I do take credit, on a page no one will ever read in hopes this may inspire some wandering soul.)<\/p>\n
