If you are an avid reader of BITeS you read the posts by Shirley Lin and Kari Young earlier this summer. If you haven’t, I encourage you to do so. Those posts are about members of the VIPEr community spreading the message of VIPEr. Community is going to be a very important theme in the BITeS posts this fall. In the coming weeks you are going to hear about a community challenge, our upcoming NSF proposal, the 2016 workshop and our sessions at the spring ACS meeting in San Diego. But this post is about an LO. A very different LO that was created in response to comments from participants in our workshop this past June-July. I hate to promote my own LO in BITeS, but I wanted to briefly mention the Adaptable Poster for Promoting VIPEr. I designed this poster to be used by people that might be presenting something on campus or at a small local or regional meeting. It has facts about VIPEr and spaces left blank where you can show off your own contribution (say an LO you created). It is a bit odd in that I created it as a problem set to restrict access to faculty only. It also has quite a few pictures, so you have to download it from an external site, all of which is all described in the LO. I will do my best to keep it up to date with pertinent statistics, but feel free to let me know if you would like it updated for your use. All we ask is that you let us know when you use it. I will be promoting VIPEr at the upcoming Philadelphia Inorganic Colloquium in September. I won’t quite be using this poster, but it will be a beloved ancestor of this poster from the ACS meeting in Dallas. I hope to see many members of the community there.
