The Midwest Regional SETAC chapter will hold an annual meeting in hybrid format. The in-person component will take place at the Bestwestern Plus InnTowner hotel in Madison, WI, on April 28-29, 2022. Virtual components of the meeting are still under development,but will likely include live streaming of meeting presentations as well as access to recordings of presentations (i.e., keynote, platforms/posters but not the short course). This year’s theme is “Greater Science Communication for the Great Lakes Community” with a focus on environmental and social justice. The event will include a short course and mix of platform and poster presentations around issues of concern in the fields of environmental toxicology and chemistry.

The Midwest Chapter is a regional chapter of SETAC North America and consists of volunteers dedicated to improving our network of scientists, regulators, and educators. With an annual meeting and short-course, we are hoping to meet our other scientists in the region and potential collaborators, become familiar with advances in many environmental fields and provide opportunities along with financial support to students to present their work at our meeting and meet new mentors.  We have members and attendees that develop workshops and timely discussions of topics of both regional and national interest. We:

  • Promote research, education, training and development of the environmental sciences.
  • Encourage interactions among environmental scientists and disseminate information on environmental toxicology and chemistry.
  • Sponsor scientific and educations programs and provide a forum for communication among professionals in government, business, academia and other segments of the environmental
