This week I had the great honor of providing the opening keynote to the conference "Enhancing the voice of science on Wikipedia: How universities can collaborate with the online encyclopedia in science communication" hosted at @uniinnsbruck
The video recording of my talk and the slides are already online available, please check them out over at @osconjunction
I seized the opportunity to reflect on the following questions:
- How 'scientific' is Wikipedia?
- How important is science for Wikipedia?
- How important is Wikipedia for science?
- How important is Wikipedia for our common knowledge?
- What are potentials when science communication meets Wikipedia?
- What are the pitfalls?
- Is it worth it?
Of course, the slide deck features the nowadays obligatory AI slide and an Elon Musk joke.
