In collaboration with Mackenzie Lemieux - a Wikipedia wiz, future MD/PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis, and all-around great person - the Opioid Policy Institute is coordinating an Addiction Science Wikipedia Hackathon.

While as scientists we may spend a lot of time reading peer-reviewed journals, much of the web still relies on the knowledge provided by Wikipedia. Our goal with this event is to increase evidence-based information about addiction science on Wikipedia (citing peer-reviewed articles!), contribute edits that use person-centered language (let's take on stigma!), and promote the diversity represented in addiction science by creating Wiki pages (the Marian W Fischman Lectureship Award and the many illustrious awardees, to start!).

Our event will provide a walk-through on how to edit/use Wikipedia and identify pages that may need additional information.

All skill levels are welcome!
