Greetings from BCCE! After some interesting travel experience, I made it to Allendale. Yesterday was spent with fellow LC members Barb Reisner and Sheila Smith working on the ACS Inorganic exam. It was a long day, but we got a lot accomplished. The exam is set and for the first time will contain scenario-based questions similar to what is on the ACS DUCK exam. We know not everyone will be 100% thrilled with what is on the exam, but I think the committee did an outstanding job of constructing a tough exam that is representative of our incredibly diverse field. This exam was part of the driving force behind the recent survey on what is being taught in Inorganic courses, which you will be hearing more about in the coming months. Today, I'll be co-leading my first VIPEr workshop along with Hilary Eppley and Joanne Stewart. It's the introduction to VIPEr workshop, so hopefully I can't screw it up too much.
