Writing and Pitching Life-Science-Related Op-Eds

Description

Op-eds are a critical tool for influencing public opinion and policy, sharing your informed perspective on important issues, and translating your research.

How do you write an effective op-ed? Patrick Skerrett, who runs the opinion section for STAT News, will introduce students and faculty to the art of writing opinion articles. He'll explain why op-eds are worth writing, how basic elements can be used to create an effective op-ed, and how to pitch your idea to an editor.

The webinar is free and open to doctoral and graduate students, faculty, and others in the Johns Hopkins community.  

The lecture is the third in a series of talks on communications skills sponsored by the R3 Science Communications Leadership Program, which is supported by the Provost's PhD Professional Development Initiative.
