 Join us for the...

Emerging Technologies Edit-a-thon

in honor of National Nanotechnology Day

Sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health


 * Learn about NIOSH's research on health and safety issues of emerging technologies like nanotechnology and 3D printing! Afterwards, we'll work together to improve coverage of workplace health and safety topics on Wikipedia. Lunch will be provided courtesy of Wikimedia District of Columbia!


 * NIOSH is the leading federal agency conducting research and providing guidance on the effects of engineered nanomaterials on worker health, and methods to control or eliminate exposures. NIOSH's Nanotechnology Research Center coordinates the nanotechnology and additive manufacturing activities of a diverse group of scientists from across NIOSH's many divisions.  NIOSH created the Center for Occupational Robotics Research in 2017 to evaluate potential benefits and risks of robots in the workplace, and develop guidance for safe interactions between humans and robots.


 * This is our third annual edit-a-thon for National Nanotechnology Day, following events in Columbus in 2018 and Cincinnati in 2017.

when


 * TBD. The event is being rescheduled. More information coming soon.

how


 * You must register with your real name in advance to attend.  All attendees will need a valid government ID in order to enter the building.  Unfortunately, due to building restrictions, only U.S. citizens can attend in-person.


 * You may also join us remotely from wherever you are!

Agenda
This event will include a tutorial on contributing to Wikipedia, as well as an overview of NIOSH's work in nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. We'll then proceed to the editing!

Articles to work on


Your contributions to the edit-a-thon can cover any notable occupational health and safety topic. Here are some resources to help you get started.


 * Nanotechnology
 * Recipients of the Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology, UPenn NBIC Award for Research Excellence in Nanotechnology, ISNCSE Nanoscience Prize, and Tulip Award in DNA Computing
 * Silicon dioxide nanoparticle
 * Nanoinformatics
 * Nanotechnology vital articles


 * 3D printing
 * 3D printing: split into new article and expand
 * Add health and safety section to specific types of 3D printing (e.g., Fused deposition modeling, Fused filament fabrication, Selective laser sintering)
 * Potential sources:
