is Coming to SOT!
This year's Committee on K–12 Education Paracelsus Goes to the Classroom outreach event is a student symposium involving middle and high school students from around Washington State. Eight teachers and 150 students are working with 16 toxicologist mentors to prepare presentations for the Toxicologists Educating and Mentoring Students (TEAMS) symposium. The symposium will be held by videoconference on Tuesday, March 18, hosted at the SOT Annual Meeting in Seattle. Students have selected topics related to issues in health and environmental health and have researched the role that toxicology plays in identifying, characterizing and solving such issues. Each student team will present their project by videoconference to a panel of SOT members who will be at the Hyatt, and to the other participating schools linked by the videoconference. The SOT panel will provide feedback on each student presentations, and the other viewers can ask questions. Drop by the Hyatt Anderson Amphitheater from 8:30 AM-11:30 AM on Tuesday to be part of the action. In addition, some students will record their presentations and these will be available in a virtual poster session in the same room from 1:30 PM–4:30 PM that day. Please come and join the audience for these events if you are attending SOT this year.
You can also view the virtual poster session at the K–12 Resource area in the SOT Resource Pavilion, located in the Skybridge between the two ToxExpo Halls. You can look at high quality materials that are easy for toxicologists to take into the classroom and learn about exemplary materials related to toxicology that are used in teacher training by the Northwest Association of Biomedical Research. Students from the Seattle area will present their work related to toxicology and environmental health. Plan to spend some time in this area, which will be an intersection for all meeting attendees and the location for viewing the many resources available through SOT.
