The Good Robot Podcast: featuring Jess Wade on rewriting Wikipedia

Hosted by Eleanor Drage and Kerry Mackereth, The Good Robot is a podcast which explores the many complex intersections between gender, feminism and technology. In this episode we talk to British physicist Jess Wade about the 1923 Wikipedia pages (and counting) she's created and edited in her aim to put more women and more people of colour onto the online encyclopaedia. Jess Wade is an Imperial College Research Fellow investigating spin selective charge transport through chiral systems in the Department of Materials. Broadly speaking, her research considers new materials for optoelectronic devices, with a focus on chiral organic semiconductors. She currently works in SPIN-Lab at Imperial, which is led by Professor Sandrine Heutz.
