Past events

 * March 5, 2023: APS March Meeting Wikipedia Edit-a-thon


 * APS’s most recent edit-a-thons took place as part of the April Meeting 2022 and March Meeting 2021, where participants collaborated to update and create Wikipedia pages focused on women and other historically marginalized groups in physics.


 * To highlight the work of Black physicists, APS has also partnered with the organization Black in Physics to host a Juneteenth edit-a-thon in 2021. This event honored the contributions of Black physicists while strengthening connections between physicists and the movement to support Black individuals entering the STEM fields. By bringing attention to the achievements of Black physicists so that diverse groups of people can see themselves in science, this edit-a-thon contributed to fostering a just and equitable environment where Black physicists can thrive.
