Help improve representation of mass spectrometry on Wikipedia in two simple steps:
- Create a Wikipedia account (if you don’t have one already): Use the “Create account” link in the top right corner on the Wikipedia main page. Choose your username with care—you do not have to be identifiable.
- Start editing! Find an article from the List of Female Mass Spectrometrists and begin to edit.
Please don’t edit or create an article about yourself, a close friend, colleague, collaborator, or your employer—this would be considered a conflict of interest on Wikipedia.
