Share Your Expertise: Volunteer to Chair an Annual Meeting SOT Platform or Poster Session

By David Rossé posted 08-23-2012 02:47 PM

  

Each year, with assistance from several SOT groups including the Specialty Sections and Special Interest Groups that share in the responsibility for review  of  the Annual Meeting proposals, an impressive program is developed that provides attendees with an opportunity to learn about emerging fields and gain access to cutting-edge research in the field of toxicology. 

We hope that you will submit an abstract of your most recent research results for the upcoming SOT Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, March 10-14, 2013. In addition to submitting an abstract, we’d like to invite you to consider volunteering to serve as chairperson for the poster and platform sessions that will be programmed. 

Listed below are the categories in which authors can submit their abstracts. During the Scientific Program Committee’s review, these broad session topics are broken down into sub-topics related to these categories. There will be two chairpersons for each platform session and each poster session will have either one or two chairpersons. At least one platform session chair must be an SOT member.   

If you are interested in volunteering to Chair a session, please visit the 2013 SOT Annual Meeting website to review the Session Chairperson Guidelines. To volunteer to serve as a SOT session chairperson, please send David Rossé  an email noting your areas of interest from the list of categories below. If selected, you will be sent an invitation in late October requesting your assistance.  

The deadline to submit an abstract is October 3, 2012, at 11:59 pm (Eastern Daylight Time). The cost to submit an abstract is $50.
