The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Council and the Scientific Program and Continuing Education Committees are excited about the excellent science scheduled for the 2014 SOT Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona on March 23–27, 2014. In addition, we are looking forward to receiving and scheduling comprehensive poster and platform sessions. In light of the shutdown of the US Federal Government beginning on October 1, we have extended the abstract submission deadline from the original date of October 7, 2013 until Wednesday, October 16 at 11:59 pm (EDT).
We encourage you to submit your abstract by October 7 if possible. However, we hope that the extension will enable you to submit your research for presentation at the meeting in light of the current uncertainties. Please note that if you cannot meet even the extended deadline, there will be another abstract submission deadline in January. All abstracts accepted at this January deadline will be scheduled for a poster presentation on Thursday, March 27, 2014 and will be included in an electronic-only supplement to the printed Toxicologist.
Information about submitting an abstract is available on our 2014 Annual Meeting website. If you have any questions regarding the abstract process, please contact April Brewer at SOT Headquarters at 703.438.3115.
We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues. As a reminder, as an SOT member there is no limit on the number of abstracts that you can sponsor, but you may be listed as a presenting author on only one abstract.
We look forward to welcoming you to Phoenix, Arizona, for the Annual Meeting that will take place from March 24–27, 2014.
Sincerely,
Lois D. Lehman-McKeeman, PhD, ATS
SOT President
