Save the Date! The Midwest Regional Chapter of the Society of Toxicology (MRC-SOT) and the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) will be co-sponsoring a fall, scientific meeting entitled “Reproductive Toxicology.”

This all-day event will be hosted by the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and held on Friday, October 28, 2011, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign, Illinois. The morning session will include a workshop, instructed by Dr. Rex Hess, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois, on the “Histopathological Evaluation of Spermatogenesis and Stages of the Cycle.” The afternoon session will include scientific presentations by experts in the field of reproductive toxicology. Participants may register for either or both sessions.

Detailed program information, including information for workshop participants, will be forthcoming and posted on the MRC-SOT and STP Web sites. If you have any questions about this upcoming meeting, please contact Christina R. Wilson, Susan M. Henwood, or Wanda Haschek-Hock.
