VALIANT’s First Anniversary

Friends,                

May 6, 2025

Today, on our first anniversary, I’m excited to invite you to reflect and celebrate how far we’ve come together.

To mark this milestone, we’ve blended community and individuality by creating personalized poetry sites.

For members whose Scopus IDs we have on file, we’ve asked Gemini to craft poems inspired by the titles of each person’s scientific contributions. Using Flux Schnell, we then brought to life a personalized “Val“—our symbolic AI cat—that visually embodies the essence of these discoveries. Each piece of artwork features three scenes drawn from the scholar’s most impactful papers.

If your Scopus ID was on file, you’ll soon receive a separate email containing your private link. If you don’t receive an email and would like your personalized site, please reach out to us with your Scopus ID.

Together, the poem, the cat, and the imagery offer a moment to appreciate where our scientific journey has taken us—and to imagine where curiosity might lead next.

I hope these creations bring a smile to your day.

Warm regards,

Bennett
