SETAC Regional Chapter Meeting hosted by EAS Easton
EAS Easton, MD hosts SETAC Regional Chapter Meeting
EAS Easton proudly welcomed two regional SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) chapters to the campus April 17-18.
The 2nd Annual Hudson-Delaware & Chesapeake- Potomac Regional Chapter Joint Meeting gave members a chance to tour an industry-leading contract research laboratory while attending workshops, trainings, and sessions.
The event kicked off with a warm welcome by the EAS Easton General Manager, Yagnesh Patel, and included in-depth tours, learning and networking, as well as student poster presentations. The regional SETAC chapters awarded prizes to the top students. Brittany Hyle, EAS Inside Sales Team Lead, stated, “It was a productive meeting and great to see so many people turnout to discuss the challenges and opportunities in ecotoxicology testing and its effects. It was very rewarding to bring industry leaders together to collaborate and share expertise!”
The keynote speaker, Dr. Scott Lynn from the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presented on the importance of the EPA’s current rebuild of the EDSP using New Alternative Methods. His insightful presentation brought the topic and its relevance to life for the meeting attendees. Dr. Lynn was available for questions and stayed after to network with guests afterwards.
Both Linda Logan, Ph.D., President of HDC-SETAC, and Guangbin Li, Ph.D. President of CPRC-SETAC shared, “The meeting was a wonderful opportunity for members of both chapters to come together and exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another. [EAS Easton] provided an excellent setting for the event, and your staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout. We are particularly grateful for the time and effort [EAS] put into organizing the event.”
