new challenge: Women Characters, Science Edition!

[aethel]

At long last, a new challenge! The Total Braindump Challenge (from July) is definitely closed, and we now present....

Women Characters, Science Edition!

In celebration of Ada Lovelace Day (October 7), why not create a Fanlore article about your favorite female character who is a scientist, engineer, or mathematician? Tell us about your fannish experiences with these characters — the women themselves, the relationships they’re in (het, lesbian, canonical, fannish, etc.), the fanworks they star in — whatever you can think of! You can stub out a new page, or add a sprinkle of information on an existing page.

Here are some resources to get you started:

You can see a list of all characters with some content already on the wiki here: Character Category

If starting a new page, you can copy and paste the character template:

{{stub}}
{{CharacterProfile
|name=
|occupation=
|title/rank=
|location=
|status=
|relationships=
|fandom=
|other=
}}

Also check out the help page for writing about characters on Fanlore.

Excellent idea! I've started an article for Keiko O'Brien from ST:TNG & DS9; I'll try to get around to some others later. Do medics count?

Medics/pathologists/forensic scientists/etc all count, indeed!

Great! I've added Jadzia Dax and braindumped a few potentials for future page creation :) Did I say what a great idea this is?!?

Couple more that I was surprised didn't have an article already... Winifred Burkle from Angel & Beverly Crusher from ST:TNG.
