Assistance needed at the World Congress for Biomechanics: July 11!
[edit]Hello
Did you know that less than 20% of Wikipedia biographies are about women? In 2023, a search of 'Women in Biomechanics' on Wikipedia by Emeritus Professor Julie Steele returned NO results. The International Women in Biomechanics set out to change this in Dec 2024 when they coordinated a Wikipedia-Bomb (https://www.intwomenbiomech.org/abc_anzors_wikibomb)
I am part of a group of researchers attending the World Congress for Biomechanics in early July in Vancouver. We are planning on continuing this fun tradition and would like to host a Wiki writing/editing event to promote Women in Biomechanics as well as other equity seeking groups (Black Biomechanists Association and Latinx in Biomechanix). We are requesting on site assistance from a Wiki editor to help us publish our text in the format required for Wikipedia.
We are fun- and pretty good writers, for scientists! Please let me know if anyone is open to spending a Saturday with us as we aim to change the narrative and increase Equity and Diversity on Biomechanics related Wikipedia pages.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Lori Vallis Lvallis (talk) 00:52, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
