184BThe GSLC Communications Subcommittee has been working to improve communication with Student
members by reducing the length of the Winter eLetter and sharing the extra information in the form of
short updates posted throughout the year. These short updates can be found as ToXchange posts
which are titled “GSLCorner.” The updates are sent to the email address that you have registered with
SOT. If you miss any of the email updates, they are stored in ToXchange on the graduate student page
under “Graduate Student Announcement Topics.” Updates that have been posted already this year
include announcements of award winners and notable seminar topics/events from RC, SS, and SIG fall
meetings, #YouTox media campaign announcements, upcoming travel award deadlines, Continuing
Education opportunities, toxicology conferences of interest, and Annual Meeting alerts.
185BBeing a Student member of SOT provides excellent opportunities to interact with other Student
members and toxicology experts in SOT. You are permitted access to ToXchange, the SOT Online Job
Bank, and student award information. Most importantly, you have the opportunity to be a part of a
larger community of scientists and gain eligibility for student leadership positions. Membership in SOT
facilitates communication that can open the door for new research collaborations. It also is a great way

208BThe GSLC hosts a number of programs and events at the SOT Annual Meeting, each designed to add to
your experience. These programs, described below, are excellent venues to network with your peers
and with other meeting attendees. The events are summarized below, but you can find additional
information, as well as a Student Planner PDF document, on the Student and Postdoctoral Scholar
Events page of the Annual Meeting website. We hope you will take advantage of these opportunities,
and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 2017 Annual Meeting in Baltimore!
209B-The Graduate Student Leadership Committee
210BGSLC AND PDA CO-ENDORSING A 2017 SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM
211BThe GSLC and Postdoctoral Assembly (PDA) have both developed a symposium session at the 2017
Annual Meeting on Wednesday, March 15, from 9:30 AM - 12:15 PM entitled “Investigating Metabolic
Diseases Using Integrated Omics Approaches.” The symposium session is co-chaired by GSLC
Professional Development Subcommittee Chair, Jessica Sapiro, and Samantha Snow of the PDA. The
combination of the general population living longer, consuming a Western diet rich in saturated fats,
and leading a sedentary lifestyle, among other risk factors, has led to the prevalence of metabolic
diseases worldwide. Advances in next generation DNA sequencing, RNASeq methods, and novel mass
spectrometry tools have provided access to large amounts of data that are able to be deciphered using
computational approaches and new statistical methods to generate new hypotheses. Since the
building blocks of a cell do not work in isolation (DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites) and must
orchestrate functions across global networks, it is important to utilize these molecular tools to
understand biological functions in an entire system. The goal of this symposium is to demonstrate the
use of different omics technologies as a tool to decipher possible mechanisms in the development of
toxicant exposure-induced metabolic diseases. Single omic technologies (toxicogenomics, proteomics)
in the setting of liver disease will be presented followed by integrative approaches combining multiple
technologies (i.e. redox-based proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, ChIP sequencing,
epigenomics, lipidomics) in the setting of metabolic dysfunctions. Using omics applications in these
settings will enhance understanding of known molecular mechanisms involved in metabolic diseases,
aid in identifying undiscovered pathways underlying adverse health effects, and further develop
integrated models to identify risk factors to improve human health. This symposium continues our
previous success as a co-sponsor of symposia at previous Annual Meetings. Please plan to attend and
support your student and postdoc colleagues!

217BEXPERT/GRADUATE STUDENT MEET-UPS
218BThe Chat with an Expert (CWAE) program provides a special opportunity for small groups of students
and postdoctoral scholars to meet with Associate or Full SOT member Experts to network and gain
insight into the field of toxicology over an informal meal, coffee, snack, or chat. Student and Expert
matching occurs several weeks before the Annual Meeting, based on the interests of the students and
the area of expertise of the Experts. After completion of the matching, students will be sent the date
and time in early March for their meeting in addition to a brief survey that should be forwarded on to
their expert in order to facilitate better discussion.
219BGroups meet at the CWAE poster board outside the ToxExpo entrance near the registration area of the
Convention Center at the appointed time and then proceed to the designated place for an informal
discussion. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to network. This program was expanded a few
years ago to include Chat with a Postdoc and there are still spots available. Graduate Student and
Postdoctoral Scholar registration is now open through February 24. Information on this program and
registration instructions are available on the SOT website.
220BMENTORING BREAKFAST
221B2017 SOT Mentoring Breakfast—March 13th in Baltimore
The 6th annual SOT Mentoring Breakfast is an opportunity for those interested in developing
relationships with career mentors. Attendees will:
166BSStudents gain insights to the successful development of a constructive mentoring relationship.
Prior to the breakfast, students prepare responses to a questionnaire about what they are
looking for in a mentor as well as their career goals. During the breakfast, students speak with
the facilitator at their table and get to know other student attendees.
10 SOT © 2017
Between March and May, the facilitator personally matches each student with a mentor, who
has already expressed a commitment to participating in the program and who would like to
mentor a student. Notifications of matches are sent via email in May 2017.
It is the student’s responsibility to follow-up with their mentor match and embark on the
mentor/mentee relationship.
222The SOT Mentoring Breakfast will be held
on Monday, March 13th, from 6:15 am–
7:45 am. The event is limited to 50
mentees on a first-come, first-serve
basis. An attendance fee of $10 includes a
continental breakfast. This year’s
mentoring breakfast is already completely
booked. However, please email Kim von
Brook ([email protected]) if
you are interested in getting on the
wait list. Schedules change very
quickly so there is still a chance to
attend if you’re interested.
223BPlease note: only mentees interested in being matched with a mentor should register for this event. If
you are interested in being considered as a mentor, please sign up through the SOT Mentor Match
website.
224BSTUDENT/POSTDOCTORAL MIXER
225BEvery year the GSLC hosts the Student/Postdoctoral Mixer for students and postdoctoral scholars to
gather, meet new colleagues, and reestablish relationships in an informal environment. The Mixer will
be held Sunday, March 12th, from 7:30-9:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to network with students
from across the nation and the world, as well as learn more about the different RCs, SIGs, and SSs
within SOT. The mixer includes an interactive game designed to facilitate networking, as well as door
prizes. Tickets are FREE and can be obtained by signing up for this event when you register for the
Annual Meeting online or via the print registration form. A ticket and meeting badge are required for

use whenever it is feasible. Graduate students, undergraduates, postdoctoral scholars, and recipients
of Colgate-Palmolive awards are among the guests at the In Vitro Toxicology Lecture and Luncheon.
Students and postdoctoral scholars register for $10 (nonrefundable) via the Annual Meeting
registration. The event will include a case study conducted by the participants based on a presentation.
226BIN VITRO MIXER EVENT: NEW FOR SOT 2017 Engaging and training young toxicologists are critical steps toward realizing the National Research
Council’s (NRC) vision of Toxicology in the 21st Century. To facilitate networking opportunities in
support of trainee development, the In Vitro and Alternative Methods (IVAM) Specialty Section is
holding an informal networking/social event on Monday, March 13 at 7:30 pm at the Sheraton Inner
Harbor (300 S. Charles Street; please check the program for room assignment).
The event will provide an opportunity for established scientists to meet potential future employees
and colleagues, for young scientists to explore future career options across sectors, and for all to have
fun and establish professional relationships.
Food and beverages will be provided. The event is free to attend and open to all, so please share
this information widely with anyone who you think may be interested in attending.
Note, this meeting is in addition to the usual IVAM luncheon which is scheduled for Tuesday, March
14th from 12:15-1:45 pm. We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore! For more information, please
contact: Amy Clippinger, IVAM President at [email protected].
230POSTER TOURS FOR TRAINEES 231BPoster Tours for Trainees will once again provide students and postdoctoral scientists the opportunity
to participate in a one-hour guided poster tour with an expert toxicologist. This event will allow
trainees to take part in critical evaluation of cutting-edge toxicology methods and research findings,
network with an expert, and perhaps even build a long-term relationship with a senior toxicologist.
Options to sign up for specific times will be coming soon. Please check the student and postdoctoral
events page if you are interested. Last minute sign-ups for poster tours will also be available at the
SOT 2017 meeting–look out for a poster board outside the entrance to Expo space, where the posters
sessions will be held.
TRAINEE DISCUSSION SESSIONS @ SOT Are you interested in the challenges of big data, precision medicine in the treatment of leukemia, or
the exposome (host environment interactions)? This may be the opportunity to interact with leading
toxicology experts in these fields. Trainee discussion sessions are unique opportunities for graduate
students and postdoctoral scholars to engage in a scientific conversation with the plenary speakers.
12 SOT © 2017
Each plenary speaker will be participating in a trainee discussion session after each plenary session.
Students and postdocs are encouraged to participate in these conversations, which are a great
opportunity to ask questions in a more intimate setting than the plenary lecture hall. This ticketed
event has been a great success over the last few years, with many trainees gaining new scientific
perspectives as well as valuable career advice. The Graduate Student Leadership Committee (GSLC)
highly encourages graduate students to take part in this event.
Detailed information about the plenary sessions can be found here.
