Et al,
As far as I recall,the teacher and student programs offered bySOT are open to anyone who is interested. There maybe some lesser application or registration fees.
I haven't been involved for a few years. Te website at
www.toxicology.org should have this information. The next Annual Meeting will be in San Antonio,so transportation costs for teachers here and nearbyshould be less onerous. Of course, a teacher has to want to attend and continue learning. Rather like the bad old joke about psychiatrists and changing lightbulbs.
The Waco, TX mess was the ATF etc. assault on the Branch Dividian compound.
The fertilizer plant explosion was in West,TX. For whatever reason, the Chemical SafetyBoard chose to present their investigation report in Waco,TX at a public meeting. That's the one I went to. Fortunately,I had nothing whatsoever to do with the other one.
And I'm sure Monona's comment about all her nightmeres in one script is very right. Sounds very dramatic and also very, very dangerous. You'd think these days computer simulations could quite realisticallyreplace most of that. If George Lucas et al can do it, why can't the producers of this one? Then maybe all you'd have was the possibility of repetitive motion injuries amongst the programers.
