Participate in Chat with An Expert March 14‒March 17
The purpose of Chat with an Expert is to provide students and postdoctoral scholars with the opportunity to network informally with well-established toxicologists while obtaining career advice and meeting new colleagues. Small groups are composed by matching research interests of students and postdocs with those of an expert. The expert for each group identifies a time and a place for an informal meeting, and the group meets at the Chat with an Expert Poster before proceeding to the meeting location. This program also includes opportunities for postdocs to host informal meetings with graduate students, and graduate students to hold informal meetings with undergraduate students. For more information, see the Chat with An Expert Poster at the Sunday, March 13, Student Postdoc Mixer, 7:30 pm‒9:30 pm, La Novelle Orleans, Ballroom B.
