During these unusual times, with health and safety concerns necessitating new daily routines and forgoing activities outside the home for many SOT members, we recognize that our members may be struggling to stay connected to each other, to friends and family, and to the scientific community. While we cannot ease these burdens entirely, the Society does have resources available to help make some of these connections.
ToXchange Component Group, Graduate Student, and Postdoc Communities
By selecting My Communities from the Communities tab after logging in to the ToXchange website, you will see all the SOT communities (Committees, Regional Chapters, Special Interest Groups, Specialty Sections, etc.) to which you belong. Once you select a specific community, you will find messages and other resources for that community.
SOT Membership Directory
The SOT Membership Directory is available 24-7 on ToXchange. Search by name, company/organization, location, and more to find the contact information for any SOT member.
Access to Toxicological Sciences
SOT Full and Associate members have free access to the electronic version of Toxicological Sciences, while Postdoc and Student members can request discounted subscriptions to the Society’s journal.
2020 SOT Virtual Meeting
As we’ve announced elsewhere, through June, SOT is presenting Scientific Sessions and Continuing Education courses originally planned for the canceled in-person Annual Meeting as live webinars.
In general, free live webinars of Scientific Sessions are occurring on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm (ET), while fee-based Continuing Education courses are being held on Fridays between 12:00 noon and 3:30 pm (ET). The schedule of upcoming webinars is available on the “Virtual Meeting Program” web page.

For a per-course fee or annual subscription, SOT members can select from 70 Continuing Education courses that have been recorded over the last decade. Recordings of the live webinars from the 2020 SOT Virtual Meeting will be added to the catalog in the coming months. Postdoc and Student members have free access to the entire CEd-Tox catalog, as do individuals from developing countries.

SOT leadership would like to thank all the SOT volunteers who are continuing to work on the programs and initiatives that provide value to our members. The Society is and will continue to be an important way to come together to advance our professional activities and interests. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
