For those unfamiliar with SOT TV, it is a compilation of interviews with Annual Meeting speakers, features about SOT programs and initiatives, and paid profiles of companies and organizations supporting the field of toxicology.

There are two ways to watch SOT TV content: (1) you can watch Episode 1, Episode 2, and Episode 3, which are approximately 20 minutes each, or (2) you can individually watch the 17 videos that are featured throughout the three episodes.

Episodes

• Episode 1—Topics include the SOT Undergraduate Diversity Program, the SOT Continuing Education program, an interview on “Insights on Gene x Environment Interactions in Autism, a profile of MatTek, and a profile of Chemical Insights Research Institute of Underwrites Laboratories Inc.
• Episode 2—Topics include careers in toxicology, an interview on opportunities and challenges of targeted protein degradation therapeutics, an interview on cannabis contaminants, an interview on high-content imaging and cell painting, an interview on the intersection of toxicology and aging, a profile of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and a profile of the Tanguay Laboratory
• Episode 3—Topics include ToxSci and the publishing world, an interview on the intersection of wildfires and human health, an interview on artificial intelligence and predictive toxicology, an interview on the impact of extreme heat on public health, a profile of the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work at Florida International University, and a profile of the American Chemistry Council
