Call for Presentations! Aquatic Toxicity Testing Interest Group - Student Presentation Series

SETAC Aquatic Toxicity Testing Interest Group (ATTIG) Student Presentation Series

Are you an undergraduate or graduate student performing aquatic toxicology research? Are you seeking an opportunity to share your research and sharpen your presentation skills? Whether you are seeking to practice in advance of attending a conference or are funding limited for travel, we have an opportunity for you!

The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Aquatic Toxicity Testing Interest Group (ATTIG), centered in North America, is seeking to develop a student oral presentation series, optimally with presentations on a quarterly basis with some quarters dedicated to undergraduate presentations if there is sufficient interest. Presentations would follow the same format as at the SETAC North America annual meetings, with 12 minutes for each presentation followed by three minutes for questions, with a total of five presentations during each event. There are also plans to post the presentations on the ATTIG webpage (https://www.setac.org/group/aquatic-toxicity-testing.html).

Following each event, student presenters interested in receiving feedback on their presentations members will receive student presentation evaluation forms completed by members of the SETAC ATTIG Steering Committee. There is no fee to present or participate and there is no requirement to be a SETAC member...but of course we encourage joining SETAC for career development and networking opportunities.

If you are interested, please prepare an abstract (see example at https://www.setac.org/discover-events/global-meetings/setac-north-america-46th-annual-meeting/program/abstract-submission.html), identify if you are an undergraduate or graduate student, and submit via the following Google doc: https://forms.gle/4yJkbx73RZcF7eVc8 .

Based on interest, we will then determine groupings (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, or mixed) and the timing of each presentation event.

Please reach out to Stephen Clark (slclark@pacificecorisk.com) and Lauren Zink (lauren.zink@zoology.ubc.ca) if you have any questions
