I am a biophysicist interested in interactions between the Wikimedia and scholarly communities, as well as in integrating their respective workflows and infrastructure. Within this general framework, my focus for this Wikimania is on WikiCite (especially Scholia) and disaster prevention, both with special attention to Africa.

Focus on Africa
With Wikimania 2018 being in Africa, I am looking into connecting to interesting projects that happen there or in other often neglected parts of the planet. Some that I heard about at the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Summit:
- West Africa Motorcycle Mapping
- Kolorob
- Tracking the literature around Africa-specific topics
Water shortage
- See Water shortage.
