The IONiC VIPEr group has enough funds at the end of our grant to host one additional workshop for about 16 participants.   We have decided to target the East Coast in particular (since it has been 5 years since we’ve done a workshop there) and have the workshop at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA for the 3 days preceding the MARM (Mid Atlantic Regional ACS Meeting).  This workshop will focus on the development of literature discussions for the classroom and show faculty how use advanced features of VIPEr and to submit new materials to VIPEr.   We will give preference to applicants who have not attended a previous VIPEr workshop, and in particular, new faculty members!  The dates for the workshop will be Thursday evening June 1 - Saturday evening June 3.  You can apply here. The deadline for application submission is March 13.

And in case you want to combine a VIPEr workshop with more inorganic fun, the theme for MARM (Jun 4-6 in nearby Hershey, PA) this year is “Elements of Transition,” and has lots of symposia of interest to inorganic chemists, so consider combining these two great opportunities.  The deadline for abstract submission is March 28.
