The Society of Toxicology (SOT) congratulates our new members and those who have upgraded their membership this year through October 2017!
As a result of applications submitted for the July and September deadlines, 72 members have upgraded their SOT membership and 193 new members—including 62 Full members, 29 Associate members, 17 Postdoctoral members, and 85 Graduate Student members—have joined the Society. New members become part of the worldwide network of more than 8,200 members from 69 different countries contributing to SOT's mission of "creating a safer and healthier world by advancing the science and increasing the impact of toxicology." You can view the full listing of new and upgrading members through October 2017 on the SOT website.
A special thank you to all the Full members who sponsored new Full and Associate members, as well as to the research advisors and mentors who have sponsored new Graduate Student and Postdoctoral members to date this year. Your support of these new members continues to build and sustain a strong and vibrant society. Thank you also to the SOT Membership Committee for your diligent review of membership applications.
