- A multidisciplinary group formed through social media seeks to emphasize women's contributions to science, particularly in botany, addressing the lack of data on this topic.
- They developed a dynamic dataset that connects flowering plant genera named after women with information about those women, utilizing Wikidata for broad sharing and enrichment of the dataset.
- Their innovative approach promotes open participation in research and lays a foundation for similar projects that celebrate marginalized groups in science.
