OVSOT 2008 Annual Meeting Hosted by Wright State University
Submitted by David R. Mattie, President, OVSOT
On November 7, 2008, the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University hosted the annual meeting of the Ohio Valley Regional Chapter of the Society of Toxicology (OVSOT) in Dayton, Ohio. The attendees were treated to keynote presentations pertaining to Defense Against BioChem Warfare and Terrorism from members of academia, the Department of Defense, and private industry. Outreach activities such as "Lunch with an Expert" and the K–12 Healthrich Project were also included in the program. Several highly informative and thought-provoking posters were presented by a number of student attendees during platform or poster sessions, resulting in several student awards as follows: Ph.D. Graduate Platform Award—Erica Rogers, University of Louisville; Ph.D. Graduate Poster Award—Rick Salisbury, Wright State University; M.S. Graduate Poster Award—Ntube Ngalame, University of Louisville; Battelle Minority/Women Travel Award—Clarisse Muenyi, University of Louisville; Undergraduate Poster Awards—Kelly Dingess, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Sharon Ochs, Wright State University. The OVSOT would like to thank all of the attendees for a very successful 2008 meeting, and look forward to continued scholarly interactions at our next meeting in November of 2009.
