Graduate Students, Postdocs, and All Toxicologists—
SOT Undergraduate Program Wants YOU!
 |
Have a blast!
Olivia Olifero and Marquea King share the excitement of toxicology |
The Committee on Diversity Initiatives is asking that you join them in an important effort to recruit the next generation of toxicologists by serving as a mentor at the 2010 SOT meeting. Into the third decade at the SOT Annual Meeting, the undergraduate program provides the opportunity for promising undergraduates to learn about toxicology and the rewards of careers in biomedical science.

Approximately 40 students will receive funding to attend the meeting and the special program including introductory toxicology lectures and poster and career sessions. Students are organized into groups of about 5, with two graduate school peer mentors and two SOT toxicologist host-mentors per group. The mentoring aspect of the program is one of the most important aspects, and the personal attention gives the students opportunities to ask questions in an informal setting and to learn about toxicologists as people as well as scientists.
