Wikipedia is at the core of knowledge transfer in contemporary society and one of the most efficient ways to communicate research to others. In order to keep Wikipedia relevant, as accurate and up to date as possible, it is important that researchers contribute in their field of expertise. In a world ripe with alternative facts, it is our job to stand up for transparency and the scientific method. Wikipedia also provides a place for your research and for you as a researcher where literally everyone looks.

Olle Terenius is a malaria researcher working on gut bacteria in mosquitoes with his base at Uppsala University. In a world full of fake news and a president in the USA that sees Science as an opinion among others, he travels to Swedish universities encouraging researchers to participate in making Wikipedia an up-dated and true source of information for everyone.

We proudly present Ahead of the Curve - a seminar series and PhD course on science communication Ahead of the Curve is arranged by the Department of Earth Sciences in collaboration with the University Library for the benefit of researchers in all disciplines. Starting in late november 2016 we present a series of seminars on different topics within science communication. Our overall aim is to discuss what is going on in science communication, and look ahead to future developments. There will be two invited speakers at each seminar, and we will be picking the brains of both internal and external experts. http://www.geo.uu.se/ahead
