History
Following on from our successful 2013 edit-a-thon, this year COMBINE is organising Wikipedia edit-a-thon’s around Australia.

These informal events will bring together students, researchers and mentors to edit articles on Wikipedia related to Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and related fields.

As with last year, the audience is both:


 * Students participating in the ISCB Wikipedia competition
 * Researchers interested in editing Wikipedia articles in their field

Besides being a great chance to hone your skills in science communication, it is also a great opportunity to interact with other researchers and students. This is your chance to find get in touch with other bioinformaticians and computational biologists both in your city/institute and across Australia.
