Just a reminder that you can still sign up for our 19th and final SLiThEr of spring 2021. The topic will be getting a position at a PUI. You can sign up here. 

Team SLiThEr will be meeting next week to come up with a schedule for the summer. If you have topics you would like addressed, of if you have a topic you would like to present, please reach out to any member of Team SLiThEr.

It is hard to believe that the first BITeS post was in 2014! That post began "Welcome to a new feature of VIPEr -- VIPEr BITeS (Blogging Inorganic Teaching & Scholarship). VIPEr BITeS will be a venue for longer posts on a broad spectrum of topics." Over the years a wide range of topics were presented in BITeS posts ranging from incredibly serious and poignant to somewhat tongue in cheek (do snakes have cheeks?).

Our final SLiThEr of the spring semester will take place on Thursday April 29th at 4 pm eastern (GMT-4). This event will be a long awaited reunion of a panel discussion that took place at the spring virtual ACS meeting. However, this time you don't have to register for the meeting and it will be recorded and posted for free on our YouTube channel. I will be moderating a panel consisting of Pius Adelani (St. Mary's), Mitch Anstey (Davidson), Kate Buettner (Gettysburg), Brett McCollum (Mt. Royal) and a mystery guest member of the IONiC Leadership Committee.
