I am originally from the United States but I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I am an active member of Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Aotearoa_New_Zealand), regularly attending the Wikipedians in Wellington Meetup and other Wiki events in New Zealand. I’m interested in New Zealand's natural history and biodiversity, and I am an active editor on the following projects: Wikipedia (mostly English and some Spanish), Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. I am also Curator Botany at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Museum_of_New_Zealand_Te_Papa_Tongarewa). I have a PhD in Botany and have published about 50 scientific research papers (see my ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2433-9071) and over 50 blog posts (https://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/author/heidim/). I am also an active botanical collector (https://bionomia.net/0000-0002-2433-9071) and iNaturalist user and curator (https://inaturalist.nz/people/heidimeudt). As a Wikimedian, I edit on topics related to biodiversity, botany, taxonomy, plant species, specimens, scientists (especially botanists and women scientists) and scientific papers.","submissions":["8CYGLZ"],"avatar":"https://app.eventyay.com/talk/media/avatars/Heidi_Meudt_book_launch_1_YUqko4u.jpg","avatar_source":"Author: Siobhan Leachman License: CC0","avatar_license":"Siobhan Leachman, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons","answers":[]}
