Wikidata and Biodiversity — a match made for Earth
2025-10-31 , One and Only

We love Wikidata. We love biodiversity. And we connect both!

This presentation will build on the Wikimedia and Biodiversity Data session at Living Data 2025 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Living_Data_2025).

It will be a whirlwind through some biodiversity+Wikidata activities, including connections with iNaturalist, GBIF, the Biodiversity Heritage Library, and the WikiProject Biodiversity. Participants will see fun tools, beautiful images, and a thriving community.

I earned my PhD in 2024, studying Wikidata and cell types at USP, and then spent six wonderful months as Wikimedian at the Biodiversity Heritage Library. I love studying nature, building software, and organizing knowledge in computational structures. I find the life sciences exquisitely beautiful and believe in open knowledge as a tool for happier lives.
