Wikipedia:Meetup/SCAR 2016

This is the organisation page for the 2016 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Women of the Antarctic Wikibomb in collaboration with the Women in Red. Here we can coordinate our editing efforts and discuss relevant issues. A celebration of the pages created will be held at the SCAR2016 conference in Kuala Lumpur. These efforts aim to recognise the work of women in Antarctic research, to help redress some of the gender bias prevalent throughout the encyclopaedia, and to provide more visible female role models.
