SLiThEr #20: African American Chemists: Academia, Industry, and Social Entrepreneurship
Description
Sibrina Collins (Lawrence Tech) presented a SLiThEr on April 10, 2021. The topic was her recently releases ACS Symposium Series book entitled "African American Chemists: Academia, Industry, and Social Entrepreneurship". Sibrina presented on stories, both hearing them and telling them. She recounted how she used the VIPEr model of learning objects to make the stories in the book accessible for use in the classroom.
Photochemical Reactions of Copper (II) Carboxylate Artist Pigments
Description
This literature discussion shows how serious inorganic chemistry topics can related to cultural heritage problems. The paper is pretty dense in EPR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, but the questions don't go in super great depth on those topics instead focusing on the problem, the main findings, structures and the experiment design, with some additional questions about the spectroscopy.
nanoCHAT #7: Effective Feedback part 2
Description
This nanoCHAt by Dave Benson, Meghan Porter, and Darren Achey with Hilary Eppley (moderator) on April 13, 2021 was a second one on the topic of the art of giving effective feedback to students without creating too onerous a workload for faculty.
