The International Society of Computational Biology (ISCB) and the Computational Biology taskforce of WikiProject Molecular Biology/Computational Biology announce the 11th ISCB Student Wikipedia Competition: the competition aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of any topic relating to ISCB's Bioinformatics Core Competencies. A key component of the ISCB's mission to further the scientific understanding of living systems through computation is to communicate this knowledge to the public at large.
