Help Us Get the Word Out
The June Issue of Science Careers on-line features an insightful article about career opportunities in the toxicology field entitled “Opportunities Abound in Toxicology.” The article charts the course of an undergraduate student through graduate school to her career as a toxicologist in a laboratory in Richland, Washington. The author points out that during this student’s five years out of school, she “toured several major subfields of toxicology.”
The Science piece highlights a series of statistics about the workforce in the United States and abroad and explores future opportunities for a workforce that is facing an aging population and potential workforce shortages. He goes on to describe some of the training efforts being made in the United States and concludes his article by discussing the ways that students can enter the field of toxicology.
We need to send this valuable information out to university toxicology departments everywhere and we need to share this information with career resource Web sites. As SOT President Kenneth S. Ramos explains, “As the major Society in the world organized to advance the science of toxicology, we face multiple challenges. Our ability to overcome these and other challenges demands that we continue to build on our reputation for value.”
Please take the time to send this to someone who might help SOT. We’re on a mission to build for the future of toxicology.
