This morning, our biochemistry professor Shahir Rizk teamed up with Gail McGuire (Sociology and Anthropology) and April Lidinsky (Women's and Gender Studies Program) to offer a workshop for IU South Bend faculty and staff. They provided instruction in writing op/ed pieces for the public to help encourage outreach to the community by sharing their research and scholarship online and in print. Although op/ed pieces are largely opinion ("op") pieces they are not written by an editor ("ed") of the publication as the name op/ed might suggest. Actually, op/ed stands for "opposite the editorials". Rizk, McGuire, and Lidinsky have been trained by the OpEd Project.
