Communicating Science on Wikipedia
Thursday, October 8, 2026
1 pm Pacific / 4 pm Eastern
Zoom Registration

Every day, millions of people around the world turn to Wikipedia to better understand science topics, but as research advances, outdated or incomplete information can slip past readers and editors unnoticed. 

Ten years ago, Wiki Education launched our Communicating Science initiative to connect the expertise of scientists and science students to Wikipedia, making its content more accurate and complete for all. Since 2016, 70K participants have added more than 62 million words and 632K references to the free encyclopedia, and their contributions have been viewed more than 3.5 billion times!

Join our upcoming Speaker Series webinar as we celebrate and reflect on the initiative’s impact so far, then consider what the next decade could bring for communicating science on Wikipedia.

Panelists:

  • Alexandra Lau, American Physical Society
  • Cecelia Musselman, Northeastern University
  • Glenn Dolphin, University of Calgary
  • Michael Benjamin, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

This edition of the Wiki Education Speaker Series will be moderated by Ian Ramjohn, Wiki Education’s Senior Wikipedia Expert.

The event will include a public Q&A. We encourage you to bring questions for the panelists!
