If you are attending SETAC NA in Fort Worth next week, join us for a chapter meeting on Tuesday, October 22nd from 6:00 – 7:30 PM (Room: Sundance 2 in the Omni Hotel). This will be a mentorship “speed dating” style event where students and early professionals can network and discover more about different career pathways in environmental toxicology, as well as typical chapter updates. We will be heading to The Flying Saucer for an informal social immediately following the meeting. If you can’t make it to the meeting, please still feel free to join us for the social! We will post updates when we are heading over. Hope to see y’all in Texas! 🤠
