This blog was prepared by and is being shared on behalf of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) as part of a blog exchange between SETAC and SOT.
SETAC extends a warm invitation to members from SOT to attend the SETAC North America 45th Annual Meeting, which will be held from October 20–24, 2024, in Fort Worth, Texas.
The meeting has a robust scientific program containing a variety of sessions. The meeting will span five days and includes 10 parallel oral sessions a day, poster sessions, plenty of engaging networking opportunities, and much more. More than 2,000 participants are expected from academia, business, government, and nongovernmental organizations.
Nicole Kleinstreuer, SOT member and Director of the National Toxicology Program Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods, is delivering a plenary address on the hottest topic across all research areas: “Artificial Intelligence for Toxicology and Beyond: Revolutionizing Risk Assessment.” The meeting will also feature author and plenary speaker Emily Monosson, who will explore how chemicals elicit evolutionary responses in species, and documentary filmmaker Ben Masters.
The stage is set, and SETAC is excited to share the list of sessions with you. To make it easier to review, here are the topics that SOT members may find intriguing:
