Welcome to 2024!
Team SLiThEr has been hard at work arranging SLiThErs for this spring, and our first one will be in one week's time!
The presenter will be friend of IONiC George Stanley, and the title is "What to do when your published results are questioned". We will meet at 4pm Eastern (1 pm Pacific, 2 mountain, 3 central) on Thurs Feb 8th, a week from today.
Please join us on November 16th at 4:00 pm EST (1:00 pm PST) for a presentation and discussion with Professor Marilyn Mackiewicz from Oregon State University titled “Inclusive Leadership: Your role in Creating Cultures of Belonging Where Everyone Can Thrive”.
Please join us for SLiThEr #56: What can CUR do for you? on October 26th at 4:00pm EST.
Have you ever wondered what resources are available to you at the Council of Undergraduate Research (CUR)? Come out and join us as Bridget Gourley (DePauw University), Joe Reczek (Denison University), and Kari Stone (Lewis University) discuss getting involved in CUR from the perspectives of a long-time representative, the chair of the chemistry division of CUR, and a fairly new division representative. Sign up here.
Please join us on October 12th at 2 pm Eastern for SLiThEr #55 presented by Judith Currano titled "Chemical information meets artificial intelligence: The continued need for information literacy training". This presentation will be an abridged-version of Judith's recent fall ACS meeting presentation which explores how research search engines perform searches and how to train students to better utilize these resources. Please share this event with your students and register here for the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/G5DsS4YRpN14hA2j8
Join us for SLiThEr #54 with Amanda Reig (Ursinus College), Caleb Tatebe (Presbyterian College), and Ariela Kaspi-Kaneti (University of La Verne) on August 28rd at 3:00pm EST.
In this SLiThEr, our presenters will discuss the process of applying for PUI faculty positions. Our panelists will share their experiences from the points of view of those who have been on search committees and those who have been recently hired. Come learn more about what to expect and bring your questions! Please share this event with anyone you think may be interested!
Join us for SLiThEr #53 with Rebecca Jones (George Mason University) and Joanne Stewart (Hope College) on August 23rd at 3:00pm EST.
Beyond Lecture: Helping Students Get and Stay on the Alternative Pedagogy Bus
Join us on Thursday July 27th at 4 PM EST for our 52nd Slither!
Sarah St. Angelo from Dickinson College will share some of her strategies for helping students remember concepts and skills from prior coursework that they "should" remember before her junior/senior inorganic course. Student-led review presentations, LMS-based warm-up topics and quiz, and a rapid collaborative recollection of models of bonding help Sarah's students remember important ideas and take ownership of their learning from early in the semester.
