About this episode

Women have long fueled America's greatest scientific achievements. But when you go searching for information about these women scientists, you'll likely come up short. Only 19% of articles on Wikipedia are about women. In the field of science, this difference is even more pronounced. But now, a team at the Smithsonian is using artificial intelligence and good old fashioned research skills to scour the archives for lost women of science and publish their stories … before it’s too late.

Guests:

Liz Harmon, digital curator, Smithsonian Libraries and Archives

Kelly Doyle, open knowledge coordinator, Smithsonian American Women's History Museum

Rebecca Dikow, research data scientist, Smithsonian Data Science Lab

Tiana Curry, former intern, Smithsonian Data Science Lab
