USA Science and Engineering Festival NCAC will also host a booth at the USA Science and Engineering Festival, a huge event at the Walter Washington Convention Center in DC on April 16–17, 2016. This event advances STEM education and inspires the next generation of scientists and engineers. Exhibitors, performers, speakers, partners, sponsors and advisors are from major academic centers, leading research institutes, government agencies, cutting-edge high tech companies, museums, and community organizations. American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Family Science Day The NCAC will be hosting a booth at the AAAS Family Science Day Saturday and Sunday February 13–14, 2016 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, DC. The whole family and friends are welcome to this free event to explore interactive science exhibits, learn about cool science jobs, and have your questions answered by scientists!

The roles of toxic chemicals in mediating these processes has also been increasingly appreciated and translation of this information for mode of action risk assessment approaches has grown rapidly. This meeting of the NCAC will focus on bringing together an international group of toxicologists with expertise in apoptosis, molecular biomarkers of adverse outcome pathways/systems biology and risk assessment to summarize the state of the science with regard to the increasingly inter-disciplinary field of mode of action (MOA) based chemical risk assessment. This meeting will hopefully provide a stimulating forum for advancing this very current area of scientific endeavor. Pre-2013 Events
