Research by Professors Julia Adams (Yale) and Hannah Brückner (NYU-Abu Dhabi) on science, gender, and Wikipedia was discussed at NBC News today. Professor Adams was quoted in the piece, which discusses the gender schism among wikipedians and the accuracy of information about scientific research on the site: ”Girls and women look at Wikipedia, as do boys and men, and this influences how people see, for example, whether they belong in the sciences or not.” Read a statement on the research project here, and the NBC News article here.
