New redlist for Women Physiologists

• A new redlist was created for Women Physiologists. This was created by womeninred.org and automatically generated using wikidata e.g. people with gender female and occupation physiologist who do not have a wikipedia article in any language. Redlists are lists of Wikipedia:Red links where articles are wanted.

Our goal during the edit-a-thon was to turn as many of the red links below into blue links, by creating new biographies. These women are all listed in Women phsysiologists : centenary celebrations and beyond. ^[1]
