Meetings
Each year, the LSSOT holds an Annual Meeting as a means to present scientific and educational programs in contemporary issues in toxicology. One of the main purposes of this Annual Meeting is to provide a venue in which students at all levels can present their work and receive constructive feedback on their projects. Awards for student poster and platform presentations are given.
