But before we get started on what <em>op-ed</em> actually means (hint: it's not opinion!) and what the form can do for the academy, I wanted to remind you all about several exciting events also happening this afternoon, listed below:</p><p><strong><Events><br><br>Rethinking Science Education to Include History & Philosophy of Science | Gregory Radick Lecture</strong><br>

Thursday, March 5, 2026 | 5:00–6:30 PM<br>
Pigott Auditorium | 901 12th Ave, Seattle<br>
<strong>FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC</strong></p><p>It will be difficult to leave the U District early enough to attend Karen Hao’s free public lecture at Seattle University—cross-promoted by our affiliate, the Technology Ethics Initiative—but for the determined, it is not impossible. If your interests in society and technology veer toward understanding and dismantling the “empire of AI,” you won’t want to miss journalist Karen Hao discussing her bestselling book. A book signing will follow.</p><p>Learn more:<br>

Thursday, March 5, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM<br>
UW HUB South Ballroom, UW Seattle<br><strong>FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC</strong></p><p>Given how many incredible faculty, staff, researchers, and students on this list are part of the UW Information School (I think hundreds!) you may already be presenting or attending the Information School Research Fair today at the HUB South Ballroom. However, you’re curious what our colleagues are up to in the iSchool; this should be a buzzing evening event with poster sessions, lightning talks, and more.</p><p>Learn more: <a rel="noopener" class="gmail-decorated-link" href="https://ischool.uw.edu/events/2026/03/information-school-research-fair">https://ischool.uw.edu/events/2026/03/information-school-research-fair</a></p><p></events><br><br><br>Daylight saving time begins this weekend, and I expect the UW events calendar will expand in parallel with the lengthening evening light. At least, I like to believe good things are coming. <br><br>Do you have an event you’d like to share with this cross-campus, cross-disciplinary community? Let me know, or share your event with us here.</p><p>Are you part of a community organization, nonprofit, or company interested in affiliating with Society + Technology at UW?
