Advances in Inorganic Teaching Symposium - ACS Salt Lake City
Hello all,
Just wanted to let you know that there will be a "home" for inorganic education at ACS next spring. I'm organizing a symposium on "Advances in Teaching Inorganic Chemistry" symposium cosponsored by the CHED and INOR divisions. Hopefully there will be lots of interest in the community for us to share more thoughts and best practices for teaching the central science of the central science. It would be great for VIPEr to be represented there as well!
