SLiThErs - Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable

A collection of all of the IONiC VIPEr SLiThErs (Supporting Learning with Interactive Teaching: a Hosted, Engaging Roundtable). These events are short presentations on a topic followed by a period of discussion between the presenter and live participants. Each of these events is recorded and posted to the IONiC VIPEr YouTube Channel.

Impact of Gold Coordination on a Nonclassical Zinc Finger Protein

Submitted by Betsy Jamieson / Smith College on Mon, 06/22/2026 - 11:57
Description

This literature discussion was created for my 300-level elective course in bioinorganic chemistry.  Over the course of the semester, we read a series of 3 papers from Sarah L.J. Michel's lab at the University of Maryland's School of Pharmacy. This paper, "Role of Gold in Inflammation and Tristetraprolin Activity" (https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201904837) was the third one we examined. I used it as part of our section on metals in medicine and to discuss additional biochemical/bioinorganic techniques. 

Catalysis CURE Project in Capstone Lab Course

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 18:54
Description

In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class (described in a separate LO) and then "fund" (pursue) the top rated proposals in groups of 2 or 3 students.

Catalysis CURE Proposal in Capstone Lab Course

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 17:25
Description

In CHEM 146, a capstone course for chemistry majors at San José State University, I run a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) developed in collaboration with many members of the IONiC VIPEr community. This CURE starts with every student in the lab developing and presenting their proposed project to the class. Each proposal is addressing the same overarching scientific aim: to study catalysts for catechol oxidation where at least one of the proposed catalysts has not been used for this reaction before.

Physical-Inorganic Techniques

Submitted by Madalyn Radlauer / San Jose State University on Wed, 05/27/2026 - 17:16
Description

Application of advanced instrumental and preparative techniques to the study of structure, reactivity, and spectroscopy of inorganic and organic substances including materials. This is a capstone course and includes a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) that runs throughout the semester.

Intermediate Inorganic Laboratory with CURE SQ2025
Description

In this lab we have two standard introduction labs (LUM and POR) and then a full CURE. This was the second time I ran this CURE (the first was Spring 2024).

The CURE is being published as a multi-institution ACS Symposium Series Chapter in 2026, and the materials from the CURE will be hosted in a collection on VIPEr. 

Once the chapter is published, I will add the link to it in the description.

Programmable Atom Equivalents: Colloidal Crystal Engineering with DNA

Submitted by Alexandra Brumberg / Drexel University on Sun, 03/08/2026 - 23:05
Description

This literature discussion was created for the ACS National Award Winners 2026 collection for Prof. Chad Mirkin, the recipient of the 2026 ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials for “establishing the field of colloidal crystal engineering with DNA.” This LO is based on the article, "A General Approach to DNA-Programmable Atom Equivalents" published in Nature Materials, 2013, 12, 741.
