Monday marked the official start of the 2014 Annual Meeting Scientific Sessions and the first day of the 2014 ToxExpo. How are those for show stoppers? Or should that be how are those for show toppers? Monday also featured a focus on our global partners with the Global Collaboration Coffee and the opening of the Global Gallery of Toxicology Posters. Our Undergraduate Education Program continued its enlightenment with the In Vitro Toxicology Lecture and Luncheon, Dr. Helena Kandarova presenting. Dr. Jay Goodman delivered his Merit Award lecture, while some attendees joined a Special Symposium: Conversation with NIEHS Director, Dr. Linda Birnbaum. A heated debate took place over the question "Are nonmonotonic dose-responses at low dose levels toxicology relevant?" (Dr. Dieter Schrenk took the debate, arguing the against position.) And all of this amidst some wonderful exhibitor-hosted sessions, capped by some swinging exhibitor-hosted parties. All-in-all it was a fine day at the Phoenix Convention Center. And you can relieve it with our Facebook Monday in Pictures album.
